About bar italia

Bar Italia is a British indie rock band formed in London in 2020, composed of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi, and Sam Fenton. The trio is known for their lo-fi, indie sleaze, shoegaze, and alternative rock sound, often characterized by lazy yet captivating male/female vocals and guitar-driven music. Their discography includes several albums and EPs, with notable releases like "Tracey Denim" and "The Twits" in 2023. Their latest news includes the release of their fifth studio album, "Some Like It Hot," on October 17, 2025, via Matador Records. This album features singles such as "Fundraiser" (with an accompanying video starring actor Matt King), "Cowbella," "rooster," and "omni shambles." "Some Like It Hot" has been described as a move towards more cinematic ambition and sharper production, while still retaining their signature blend of rock, folk pop, and ballads. Bar Italia has also been actively touring to support the new album, with dates across the UK, Europe, and North America in late 2025 and spring 2026. They have played over 160 shows worldwide, including appearances at Glastonbury and Coachella.
