The Profile

The Hornet’s are an Italian indie/post‑punk band from Solofra (Avellino), formed in 2012. Early attention came with the single Eroi (2013) and the EP Caos melodico, followed by the second work Oceano, which introduced more keyboards and synths.

Origin: Solofra (Irpinia/Avellino), Italy; Formed in 2012; Four members; Influences cited in reviews include Interpol, Editors, U2 (early), Coldplay, Echo & the Bunnymen; Noted tracks: 24 ore, Verità Scomoda, Eroi, Sognare di più, Visioni Nobili (from Caos melodico); 404, Berlino, Demoni (from Oceano).

Reviews praise the EP Caos melodico for energetic guitars and drumming, with standout track Sognare di più. Vocals are noted as less dark than post‑punk norms. Oceano, the follow‑up, is criticized for simplified structures, heavier synths, and reduced guitar presence, seen as less incisive. Overall sentiment is divided between early promise and a less convincing second work.
