ALPHA BOYZ, PUMPKIN TRAX, ATEAM, THE WYLDE ADAGERS BIO - ALPHA BOYZ joined together from different bands (Bolla, Tizio, Magna and Skizzo from Hecatomb and Ruben from Hi Threshold Of Pain) in december 1999 with the only reason to create a tribute to the world greatest metal band, IRON MAIDEN. In the period 2000-2002 the band played several gigs, including song from each Maiden album (we love them all!), in the Arcevia (AN) zone (which is the base of the band!) with great success, but 2003-2004 was even better, cause the band played and won (2004) a contest, for cover/tribute bands (Scorribande), in Senigallia (AN) which gave the band a push for more concerts in Senigallia and other places. September 2004 as prize for the contest, the "Scorribande 2003/4 VIII Edition" compilation came out and featured two Maiden cover songs, 2 Minutes To Midnight and Flash Of The Blade (TOTALLY LIVE! And recorded at the famous MAMAMIA Rock Club in Senigallia). After such success the band tried to start with another tribute, with the same line-up, to one of the greatest Thrash Metal band, ANTHRAX. To avoid confusion the band changed name in A TEAM. The activity of the band started with the new edition of Scorribande and the band reached and won (2005) the final again (we're the law!). In 2005 we wrote and performed live, our first original song (as A team/Alpha Boyz), "Sadness Rimes", a total Maiden/Helloween track, for a Contest (Rocca Rock). After more gigs near Arcevia (like Rocca Rock and Notte Bianca) and in Jesi (AN), another edition of Scorribande came out and A Team reached the final (2006) again, but no win (cause we had to quit, for more "Metal reasons!"). In 2006 we tried another contest Raccomandati Festival (I° Ed.), which gave us the possibility to play, several times, in Ancona. We reached the final again, but no win (cause we play Metal not Rock!). In summer 2006 played Rocca Rock again and started recording (TOTALLY LIVE and ZERO COST!) the homemade demo 2006, Sheep In The Family - Anthrax Tribute, which features 13 Anthrax classics, from all the records of the band. Back in 2005 in the same period, that A team was born and winning, another side project/tribute started, with Ruben (talented Vocalist) playing also guitar. PUMPKIN TRAX was born to play a tribute to the most influential german metal band, HELLOWEEN. But we choose not to cover the classic tunes (maybe one day!), but to start with the most strange and "rockish" song that Helloween wrote (Weiki would be proud of us!). In 2006 the first gigs, like Rocca Rock and Jesi. In 2007 A team stops the activity, cause Iron Maiden is back and roaring with a new great album, so Alpha Boyz return, to cover the new tracks and also all the classics. May 2007 Pumpkin Trax start recording (AGAIN TOTALLY LIVE and ZERO COST!) 16 cover of the most "strange" Helloween songs and also 7 Maiden songs. June 2007 the first concert at Rocca Rock 2007 (IV Ed.). September 2007 homemade demo "Keeper Of The 7,000 Sheeps - The Shepherd" a tribute to the most joyful metal band in the world, Helloween, by Pumpkin Trax, was released. November 2007 homemade demo "Calm After The Storm?" Iron Maiden Tribute was released too. October 2007 another side project/tribute started with the idea (of Ruben vocals/guitar) to re-join with former drummer Diego of The Adagers (the band that started all over 15 years ago). The line up is filled up by Bolla (guitar) and the new comer Luciano (Bass). THE 'WYLDE' ADAGERS was born, as the name tells, as a tribute to most influencial rock/metal guitar god of the last 15 years Mr. ZAKK WYLDE. We choose to cover all the stuff, he did after joining Ozzy, like Pride & Glory, Book Of Shadows and of course Black Label Society and soon also Ozzy's stuff featuring Zakk. January 2008 live activity restart with the unplugged show of Pumpkin Trax (for the first time) at Scorribande which results as another final (the 3rd for the guys) at 2008 edition of the contest. February another unplugged show featuring Pumpkin Trax and also, long waited, Alpha Boyz, took place at Teatro Misa in Arcevia for Rocca Rock 2008 V Edition. April 5, 2008 take place at Gratis Club in Senigallia (AN) the final act of Scorribande, and Pumpkin prepare a new set of song for this event such as, Where The Rain Grows, Power and Giants, and the live version of the last two will be featured on the new Scorribande 2007/8 Compilation out late this summer. July, after too much time, see Alpha Boyz return, in the summer edition of Rocca Rock in Arcevia (AN), with brand new/old Maiden songs, and especially Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (which Maiden reprise in the current tour too). September "The GAME Is OVER" Helloween Tribute demo 2008 is out. November "Bring It All Or Don't Bring It At All!" Zakk Wylde Tribute demo 2008 is out. December 15, 2008 the Scorribande 2007/2008 XII Ed. Compilation is out and features 2 Helloween cover, Giants and Power, by Pumpkin Trax.
