Verona-based Action Rock trio To The Max! has released a brand-new music video for the track »Who«, taken from their upcoming sophomore studio album »Two The Max!«, set for release on March 13, 2026 via Go Down Records. Directed by Francesco Corso and shot at Fucina Culturale Macchiavelli in Verona, Italy, the video captures the band’s dynamic intensity and underlines the edgy, punk-infused spirit of the track.

“We really identify with this song – it’s edgy and the most punk-inspired on the album,” To The Max! comments. “It developed spontaneously and keeps the listener engaged through dynamic shifts in atmosphere. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and the music provides the perfect canvas. Our own meaning is that things don’t always require someone else to work out, and that’s the concept behind the music video. At the end, the band performs as a trio, highlighting self-reliance and the energy of playing together with no need for a fourth member.”

To The Max!’s sophomore studio album »Two The Max!« is a thrilling 40-minute journey through ten dynamic tracks that redefine rock’n’roll energy. This Verona-based trio pushes boundaries with an experimental fusion of Action Rock, seamlessly blending gritty hard rock riffs, infectious funk grooves, and raw punk attitude into a powerful, distinctive sound. Each song pulses with vibrant energy and dark tonal layers, delivering an unforgettable mix that keeps listeners on their toes. The band remains coherent while avoiding repetition, proving its identity with clarity and confidence. »Two The Max!« is not just an album, it’s a high-octane celebration of genre-bending creativity and rock passion that demands to be played loud.

To The Max! is a heavy rock band formed in Verona, Italy, uniting musicians with diverse musical backgrounds and long-standing personal connections. The trio consists of Alessandro Marchi (drums, vocals), Nicola Marchi (guitar, vocals), and Mattia Fraccaroli (bass, backing vocals). Before joining forces, the members were involved in projects spanning genres from thrash and black metal to sleaze rock, sharing stages and collaborations along the way.

In mid-2020, during the global lockdown, the three musicians reunited in the rehearsal room with a clear objective: to create music free from external constraints, driven solely by their own vision. Their goal was to write Heavy Rock songs that explore a wide range of moods and influences while maintaining a consistent and recognizable sound.

After less than a year of rehearsals and a home-recorded five-track demo, To The Max! began performing extensively in 2021, playing pubs, live clubs, and festivals. In 2022, they recorded their debut album »Midnight Tea«, which was self-released on CD and digitally in 2024. The band has since completed several Italian and European mini-tours, appearing at venues such as Bloom (Mezzago, Italy), Le Brin De Zinc (Barberaz, France), Sala Barracudas (Madrid, Spain), and G5(Vienna, Austria), as well as festivals including Rock Camp (Trieste), Metal Machine (Reggio Emilia), and Rock The Station (Austria), sharing stages with both local and international acts.

Songwriting continues to be the driving force behind the band’s evolution, and the new material culminates in their sophomore album »Two The Max!«, scheduled for release via Go Down Records in March 2026.
