The Italian one:
Teamed up at the end of 2003 with large part of the Receipt's line up THE DIFFERENCE is an hardcore band coming from Rome, Italy. Some of their present and past members already played (or are currently playing) with other great local bands: Strength Approach, Receipt, Face The Fact, To Kill. Since the beginning they worked to build a solid band based on friendship and dedication in what they sincerely stand for, focusing the lyrics most of all on social and political issues without losing the personal point of view. Consider the sound as fast straightforward old school hardcore with balanced melody, all included in a modern agressive sound. The first work was a self produced CDEP called "Times We Share" which includes 4 songs and it's still available in really few copies. The first full length album called "Speakers And Followers" containing 12 tracks was released on December 2K5 by Countdown Records (www.countdownrecords.com)! The first press is gone in a while and for this great positive reaction it was pressed with also a brand new artwork again on Countdown for Europe and in a cool digipack version on canadian Lower Left Records (www.lowerleft.ca) for North America, for the same reason Valium Records (www.hellnation.it) from Rome decided to press "Speakers And Followers" on coloured LP! According to the continuous desire of playing live acts THE DIFFERENCE made lots of gigs and some tours around with really good bands (Terror, Give Up The Ghost, Hatebreed... ) and with other great bands of friends (The Miracle, Values Intact, No More Fear, Pointing Finger, Endstand... ), we're preparing lots of other shows, more to come and stay crucial! .
