Fast Animals and Slow Kids

The Profile

Fast Animals and Slow Kids are an Italian alternative rock band from Perugia, active since 2008 and widely known as FASK. Their name references a Family Guy gag. They broke through with Hybris, followed by Alaska and a reputation for intense, audience-charging live shows. Their catalog spans studio, live, and orchestral projects.

Formed in Perugia; members include Aimone Romizi, Alessandro Guercini, Alessio Mingoli, and Jacopo Gigliotti. Moniker inspired by a Family Guy bit (noted in reviews). Early EP: “Questo è un cioccolatino”; debut album: “Cavalli” (released via Iceforeveryone, linked to Zen Circus, with guidance from Appino and Giulio Favero). “Hybris” was self-produced/recorded in a family vacation home with help from Andrea Marmorini and released through Woodworm Records. Reviews highlight big dynamics, frequent stop-and-go shifts, use of horns/strings/organ, and live sets marked by stage diving and strong crowd engagement.

Three reviews chart FASK’s rise from Hybris’s explosive, DIY-crafted breakthrough to Alaska’s more studied, song-focused turn, plus a sweat-drenched 2015 live set in Catania. The writing highlights big dynamics, stop-and-go structures, and lyrics steeped in angst and defiance. Aimone Romizi’s theatrical delivery and command of the crowd dominate the live narrative. Overall tone: engaged, mostly positive, and impressed by their onstage impact.
