At the time of their first single “Here and Now” we chatted to TRIDELI and had a great conversation about this new band hailing from Italy and delivering a sharp form of melodic hard rock. The guys told us,
“We believe that the band’s mission lies in our desire to bring a direct and real artistic message, heart and sweat. TRIDELI is an artistic reality without frills in a historical period that struggles to be concrete and sincere, a period overwhelmed (fortunately not always) by masks and “virtual” fiction. Fortunately, we are in a genre, rock, which will always retain a certain “existential” sincerity… a granitic purity that runs through our veins and that we are honored to express through Trideli.”
Before diving into the album, here’s how the band describe themselves in the press release.
“TRIDELI is not just a rock band with a direct, gritty sound — it’s a bet.
It is the bet of those who love uncompromising rock, who make music without catering to record industry logic, but instead follow their own path, relying solely on their taste and energy.
TRIDELI:
Daniele Trissati (guitar),
Marco Bucci (vocals),
Manuel Moscaritolo (drums),
Simone N’Diaye (bass),
guided by producer and songwriter Mike Della Bella.
TRIDELI’s music speaks to those who, just like them, owe everything to rock. Every snare hit is a bullet aimed straight at tearing down monotony. Every string vibration hits straight to the chest, filling the lungs.
Their debut album, JACKPOT, released April 8th, 2026, promises energy from the first note to the last, and lyrics driven by a determination that doesn’t take NO for an answer. Because in this bet, the fusion of sweat, rock, and groove is the ace up their sleeve.”
“Jackpot” album review.
The album runs to just under 34 minutes.
“Here and Now” was reviewed by Anna-Louise previously for us, she said “I liked the aesthetic of the video; the white, empty warehouse space is set off by the band in black. Marco Bucci reminds me vocally of Graham Bonnet (definitely a good thing) and the track immediately grabs you – big power chorus and a funky rock feel in the drums and guitars. It’s interesting how the track is solidly rock but that bit of funk makes you move to the beat!” – “Life is like a roller-coaster” Marco sings, and I’d agree the track switches from a funky rock groove into some solid guitar breaks.
“Everything” took me toward the guitar sound of Bruce Kulick around the “Asylum” era of Kiss. It is a track with some pleasing vocal harmonies and a commercial radio-friendly feel. It is one of those numbers that would please lovers of eighties rock, it has that vibe. A love song at heart, music to drive along and listen to.
“Shame” – at 3.01 this is a track in a hurry. It has a bit more angst in the lyrics, but brings back that big drum beat and chorus made for the live stage.
“The Loser”- “You were the biggest fake” is the message of this one. I am getting the feel of the band and their music now and the album has its lane. It’s bright, commercial rock with a fast guitar driven sound and neat vocals. This one hits a great riff around the 1.36 mark and it is a neat mid-album track.
“Push It” is good time rock. If you like the sound of Poison you will get this one. It has a solid mid-section that kicks into a more interesting mid-section with a spaghetti feel of fusion and sing-along.
“Hey, hey, hey,
It’s gonna be a brand-new day
Still I’m holding on, I’m standing tall
I’m over it all…”
“Ginger Doll” slows things up a bit. It is a song appreciating the female form!
“Hey, Ginger Doll
When I thought I’d seen it all
Yeah, straight out of nowhere…”
It’s a fist punching number, a bounce up and down track!
“Someday Someday” I liked a lot, possibly my favourite on the album. The production is slick here and the song is one I would happily listen to again, it has slipped onto a playlist! It is feel-good rock and roll. It is also a well crafted track and a homage to that person you want with you as life goes by – you’re lucky if you find her/him, don’t let them get away!
“The Echo” is an interestingly layered track, the “sound of the echo” delivers a decent riff and some softer, uplifting vocals and a perfectly acceptable way to futz around!.At times the album sticks closely to its melodic hard rock lane, but when the hooks land, it’s easy to roll with it.
“Let Yourself Go” closes the album with an emotive rock ballad. The acoustic guitar works really well here and the whole campfire sing-along feel closes the album in a strong manner. It was in my top three listens on the album (“Someday Someday” and “Here and Now” being the other two). It was late Bon Jovi territory, very enjoyable!
Thus, “Jackpot” is an album that wears its influences proudly, chases hooks without apology and reminds you why melodic hard rock still has a place. It’s a strong debut, makes a statement of rocking intent. The 18-year-old me would have loved it — and the current me found plenty to enjoy too.
