Biography

Polaroid were an Italian post-punk/new wave band, formed in Turin in 1981. The original lineup of the band consisted of Marcello Zavatto (voice, guitar), Massimo Vagnarelli (bass, drum-machine), Evandro Fornasier (guitar), Claudio Vagnarelli (synthersizer) and Marco Farano (Drums). Polaroid made their debut with the cassette 6-track EP ‘Senza Respiro’, self-released in 1984. Influenced by Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Cure, Pere Ubu as well as Chic and Talking Heads. The music was dark and cold, but also melodic especially with regards to guitars and voices. At the end of 1984 the band added vocalist Michele Cantoblundo while drummer Marco left and was replaced by a Roland TR-909. With Michele began a period of very dark and poetic music, influenced also by bands like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and The Sisters of Mercy. The band peacefully broke-up in 1987.

An interfusion of profound-caliginous-indie/rock mix out of Northeast Florida. The EP "inside and out" made occurrence down the World Wide Web-super highway in september of 2006. Formed in November 2005, Polaroid escaped the garage and met the stages and studios in early 2006. Since then, Polaroid has been blossoming and developing a title for themselves not to mention collecting kudos from thousands of kids worldwide, and selling their personal belongings to make it from state to state. Polaroid plans to release a brand-new, highly anticipated, seven-track Cd titled "..Then, I Turned Back Home" (cd art above). With all new fresh songs and an all new fresh attitude.
