Roberto Labruna

few words about me

I'm an old italian amateur drummer and songwriter. At the moment I mainly write new versions of popular songs. I write for my band Bad Italian Clerks (alternative rock style) and for a friend of mine OSVA (indie pop style). I also write originals but i'm too busy with the covers now. :)
