Saevio

Saevio se forma en Marzo del 2004 en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, pero se asienta como grupo el 22 de Mayo del mismo año. La inmediata química les lleva rápidamente a elaborar partiendo de cero sus propios temas en lenguaje de rock, aunando los variados gustos musicales de sus componentes hasta desarrollar de modo unitario su estilo personal. Su sonido se puede denominar como Rock melódico, con ciertos toques claramente más agresivos y unos cuidados textos en español.

The band pride themselves on providing intelligent lyricism to underpin their high octane, riff-heavy rock 'n' roll. The subject matter of the band's work varies from ensuing environmental disaster (2030) and street violence (Danger!)...
