"We are glad to be working with the very talented Coraggio Group. It’s a collective of unique music. In an age where everyone tries to copy someone else, we always respect original musical works of artists. And that’s what Coraggio Group is all about!"
Luca Dayz, CEO of Bentley Records
​
Coraggio Group is a new avantgarde counterculture project formed to connect art with popular, contestaive means of expression. Soon from the start, Coraggio Group’s sound is compared to Crystal Castles, The Knife, Placebo, Laurie Anderson, early Depeche Mode. With female alt as a lead voice, emphasis on emotionality, poetry as lyrics, hardcore visuals, and eccentric live performances, Coraggio Group changes music into art, or a feeling, or a thought.
​
