about
Wheels of Fire are a melodic, 80's-reminiscent band from Italy composed of singer Davide 'David Rox' Barbieri, guitarist Stefano Zeni, bassist Marcello Suzzani, drummer Fabrizio Ucellini, and keyboardist Andrea Vergori. The band was created in 2006 by lead singer, Davide Barbieri. After Michele Luppi (Whitesnake/David Coverdale) listened to some demos, their collaboration led to the release of the first album, “Hollywood Rocks” in 2010. The album was extremely successful in Europe and South America, and reached no. 42 in well known Japanese magazine Burrn’s ranking. The second album, “Up for Anything“, was released in November, 2012, again to critical acclaim, including excellent ratings from some of the top magazines in the music world, such as Fireworks Magazine and Classic Rock Magazine. With the their sophomore album, Up For Anything, Italian rockers Wheels Of Fire have become a full band. The core founders, vocalist Davide “Dave Rox” Barbieri and guitar player Stefano Zeni, are now joined by Marcello Suzzani on bass, Andrea Vergori on keyboards & piano and Fabrizio Uccellini on drums. What has not changed is their commitment to Eighties style, AOR melodic rock, yet on the more edgier size. Songs like pain, No Mercy, and Don't Walk Away, by example, definitely the melodic hard rock. Alternatively, Web of Lies and Tell Me venture into the lighter AOR side, with the latter more a ballad.
