“Are an earsplitting, slap in the face, wet snog of a rock and roll monster. All tousled hair, make-up and glam clothes – imagine Russel Brand and Vince Noir after a punch up with the New York Dolls – the band cite Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch nails, the Stooges and Marilyn Manson as major influences.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Despite their young years, Nuneaton and Hartshill boys Fiori have been at the top of the region’s musical tree for years now. That’s set to soar to new heights, with the band currently courting serious label interest in the States<\/div>\n
And it’s not hard to see why.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Every time they take to the stage it’s a runaway freight train of a performance. Guitarists Arthur and Dave swap the lead vocals like latter day glimmer twins, and are backed brilliantly by Paul on bass and new member Luke on drums. They’re no strangers to the big stage and Fiori believe they would do the region proud at the Godiva Festival.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Manager Stewart Craner said: “The lads would feel like it would be a sort of homecoming if they got to play the main stage at Godiva. “They absolutely love the festival.”<\/div>\n
From Coventry Telegraph 2008<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In Godiva Rocks, Pete Chambers <\/b>wrote ” Fiori won The Godiva Battle of the Bands in 2002. No amount of make-up and posturing can hide the talent this 4 piece have. Arthur Gatfield, Dave Ryder, Steve Harris and Paul Watson<\/div>\n
create something gritty and good.”<\/div>\n
