Vaot

The Profile

Sicilian band formed in Palermo in 2016; members mentioned in the review are brothers Vittorio (drums) and Riccardo (guitar), Giovanni Battaglia (vocals and keyboard) and Giovanni Morici (bass). They released their first official single on October 28 (on all digital stores), ranked first in the Band category at the national Je So Pazzo competition in Grottaferrata and reached the finals at the 34th edition of Sanremo Rock.

A positive DeBaser review praising Vaot's single "Un passo da" for its warm arrangements and '90s rock imprint mixed with contemporary freshness. The review highlights the band's Palermo origins (formed 2016), lineup, festival appearances and competition results. Vocals by Giovanni Battaglia receive specific praise for power and emotional delivery.
