Explicit… a fusion of five different styles of music… five members each with their different predilection… rock, alternative, classic, old school, blues… Originating in Malta, the heart of the Mediterranean, Explicit strives to pursue its roots in rock music.
Explicit go all-out to reach this objective using their muse as a platform of inspiration in their music; a means of conveying their message of their experiences – whether personal or instigated by the world around them - such a concept being accompanied by their unique tune. In other words, the music and their lyrics deal with sad or happy moments in every day life – although they recount a particular moment in the life of a band member, they can very easily be related-to by various members of today’s society.
The band started in June/July 2003, when Mario (…guitarist with defunct band, Attic), guitarist, Marco and bassist, Charlie (previously band mates) first got together to hit a few experimental chords. This experience led them to consider forming a full band initially by auditioning a drummer. August 2003 and Andrew enters the scene…
Having seen that the band had reached the desired consistency and tightness it was then time to enroll a vocalist. Since then the band moved from one vocalist to the next - and through several auditions and sad farewells - we finally welcomed, Stephanie, hence giving way to the first ever full rehearsal, in the first week of October 2005.
After nearly two years with this formation, Andrew the drummer had to leave the band due to other commitments. After playing with a session drummer during Notte Bianca (6th October) and auditioned various drummers finally the band welcomed Mario Dalli on drums who previously played with Charles and Marco in another band before EXPLICIT.
