Sometimes the hard times give rise to important relationships, that create inspiration and motivation.

“Sun”, the new Sunset 99's single, was born in a time span during which all the band's members were facing some complex adversities and it represents an anthem that encourages us to turn on our inner light, an invitation to find our authentic identity and shine again.

The video captures the essence of an evening spent with friends, without filters and masks, because spontaneity saves us from the darkest moments and from the conformism often imposed by the society: both the simplicity and the joy of living the present are the spark that keeps us alive.

The rhythm section and the guitars are inspired by legendary bands such as Queen and Red Hot Chili Peppers, while the warm and crystal clear voice taps into the captivating pop melodies, exuding a melancholic energy that's coherent with the message of the song.

Sunset 99 is a Swiss Indie rock / pop band born in 2019.

The first line up included Alexx Romero (guitar and voice) and Gilles Fontana (drums); Leonardo Shine Palestini (bass guitar) and Christian Martinetti (lead guitar) joined the band after a while.

After the debut album “ UPSDWN” released in 2022 by Nova Era, the band parts ways with the vocalist and, after a transition phase with the singer Anissa Boschetti, welcomes the actual singer Alice Petronici.

Sunset 99 joins the roster of the Italian label Sorry Mom in 2024 and releases the first single “Sun”.

The band presents a happily melancholic sound inspired by the late 90s-early 2000 music that lingers between punk rock, hard rock and pop.
