ABOUT THE ARTISTS

(Download hi-res Her Skin press photo HERE)
Her Skin is an Italian singer-songwriter that blends intimate freak folk with faded punk. Sara Ammendolia is her real name, and her music is characterized by sad lyrics coupled with lighter melodies. The sophomore album of Her Skin, I started a garden, will be released via WWNBB four years after her debut album, Find a place to sleep. This album contains nine new songs that address the mess of being in your 20s, feeling lonely, nostalgic, out of place, and unsure of where you belong. Her Skin explains, "In writing this album, I was waiting for myself to become myself again, but I've learned that everything you bury is a seed."

Baseball Gregg is a pop duo from California and Italy. Over a few late spring nights, the duo recorded their first songs, which eventually resulted in their self-titled debut EP, 2014's Baseball Gregg. During the summer of 2015, the duo spent afternoons writing and recording Vacation (2016), their debut LP. With the release of Ciao for Now (2016) and Sleep (2018), the band toured extensively through the U.S. and Europe, performing at SXSW and Iceland Airwaves.
In 2019, Baseball Gregg released a new song every month: their next project slowly unfolded. The 12 singles were then compiled into Calendar (2020). Their fourth album, Pastimes (2022), was released two years later and was one of the year's best albums according to Week In Pop.

Irene Pignatti's solo project Prim draws inspiration from British and American indie pop/rock. With her first release in 2019, she has incorporated this influence into her writing.
Prim released the EP Before You Leave in 2020 and the album When Monday Comes in 2021; written during the pandemic when everyone was deprived of physical and social contact, leaving us waiting for a better future. Symbolically, the title of the album emphasizes that there will always be another day after Sunday.
In 2022, Prim competed in the Italian version of X Factor, earning overwhelming praise for her voice and interpretation.
