Italian rock band from Turin formed by Franz Goria (ex-Fluxus), Dan Solo (ex-Marlene Kuntz), Ale Bavo (ex-Sushi) and Valerio Alessio. Debut album Dal Fondo (2007) was produced via Casasonica/Max Casacci and received strong praise for its lyrics and live impact.

Songs largely in Italian; single/track "Nel Buio" frequently highlighted in reviews. 2009 EP L'Amore È Un Cane was self-produced and presented as a limited release.

DeBaser reviews present Petrol as an Italian rock band with strong live impact and literate, socially aware lyrics. Their 2007 album Dal Fondo received consistent praise; live performances are described as visceral and powerful. The 2009 EP L'Amore È Un Cane marks a raw, self-produced return that was well received.

For:Fans of Italian alternative/indie rock and literate, socially aware lyrics.

 Powerful, visceral...emotional. From the first to the last note.

 It’s been a while since such a beautiful Italian rock album has been heard, capable of drawing from the entire rock tradition, from the most classic to the most extreme, and combining it with meaningful and never trivial lyrics and with that slightly aggressive restlessness dear to the bands from Turin and its surroundings.
