The Happiness Project

Our band is a project based on different musical points of view. We play rock&roll, hardcore, pop, metal, electronica at the same time, mixing and playing with vocals until we find somethig special that becomes exciting, we’re searching deep inside the things we would like to express. To take one step forward day by day, looking for warm sounds crashing to make it a huge new sound. We love the atmospheres that can be touched by the recipients because that feelings go back to the band, the so called rush.
