Quartiere 187

Quartiere 187 is an italian band hailing from Rome, Italy. The band blends crossover riffs with hardcore rhythms and hip hop vocal delivering.
== The beginnings ==
Quartiere 187 formed in Rome in 2005 when Zero, Sciacallo, Fra and Messi found themselves in a rehearsing space playing songs from bands like Linea 77, Rise Against and System of a Down. The band wrote two or three songs during those years due to Zero and Fra being busy with other project and considering Quartiere 187 just a side project.
The band played live in Rome various times in live clubs like Traffic, Jailbreak and CST Decolliamo. The band then was put into hiatus due to Zero's The Blackbird Massacre project being quite succesful, releasing an album in 2009.
== Reforming the band & 187 ==
The Blackbird Massacre disbanded in early september 2009 as two Zero's bandmates found the fact that he had a side project just dangerous for the band. As The Blackbird Massacre disbanded, Quartiere 187 came back and reformed. Zero asked Furore, a Ciampino rapper, if he wants to sing with his band, the request was accepted and Quartiere 187 started rehearsing and writing songs for their first record.
The band wrote 10 songs in a really short time span and released their first record 187 all across Europe and the UK.
== Musical style and influences ==
The band shows a mixture of three different genres. They blend crossover riffs featuring powerchords and syncopated rhythms with hardcore drums featuring double bass drum passages, moshparts and hi-speed tempos.
They deliver the vocals in italian featuring hip hop lyrics featuring rhymes, punchlines and fast delivering. Zero and Furore share the vocals, with Zero doing harsh vocals and screams while Furore stays close to the hip hop aesthetics performing also some melodic vocals.
