"Sonic Wire" is a Swiss hard-rock band from Chironico, Switzerland. The band was founded in 2006 by bassist/singer Eric Belli, guitarist Mattia Beffa and guitarist Sava Andjelcovic. The first sessions took place in a small garage in Chironico with the help of drummer Dalibor Bocigevic. Some time later Dalibor left the group but that didn't stop the band, which was, on the contrary, ready to find someone else. There was a full load of energy in the band so finding a new drummer wouldn't be that hard. The ex drummer was replaced by Francesco Bellicini and the band moved to a bigger as well as more comfortable place in the gym of the small town. Francesco contributed in a very positive way and with him Sonic Wire would greatly improve. Unfortunately, after a few months, Francesco left as well and joined "Freeday's Afternoon", a blues band from Bellinzona, Switzerland. Because of some unpleasant troubles the rest of the band was kicked out of the gym so they had no place to go to. Even though such bad news came, the band started to look for someone who'd replace the missing pieces. A lucky break came when the band met Marco Tarantolo (guitarist) which not only did his best in the band but even offered them a nice place to meet and play together in Chiggiogna, Switzerland. The band was still missing a drummer so the vacant spot Francesco left was filled by Luca Zucchetti. The new place Marco offered the band was located pretty far from Chironico. At the beginning this wasn't such a big deal but after a while meeting each other to play was getting harder and harder overtime. They started then to look for a new place to go to and they fortunately found a place in Chironico which would be monthly paid by the band itself. Having a nice spot close to home brought luck and made them feel like playing as much as they'd never done before. A new era had just started and Sonic Wire would have a great deal of improvement within the coming months. Having three guitars in the band turned out to be pretty hard to handle and after a unanimous decision Marco Tarantolo left the band. In April 2011 the formation of the band changed again with Francesco Bellicini back in the band.

I Sonic Wire sono un gruppo Hard Rock svizzero, formatosi a Chironico nel 2006. L’iniziativa fu presa dal cantante e bassista Eric Belli e dai chitarristi Mattia Beffa e Sava Andjelcovic. Le prime sessioni di prova furono eseguite nei garage di casa, con l’aiuto del batterista Dalibor Bocigevic, il quale non entrò mai a far parte ufficialmente della band. Dopo il completo abbandono da parte di Dalibor e lo spostamento del luogo di prova all’interno della palestra comunale, entrò a far parte un nuovo batterista, Francesco Bellicini. Egli ebbe un ruolo non indifferente che contribuì in modo positivo allo sviluppo della band. Purtroppo anche lui dopo pochi mesi lasciò i Sonic Wire per entrare a far parte di un altro gruppo musicale, i Freeday Afternoon. Per alcuni spiacevoli inconvenienti i Sonic Wire furono costretti ad abbandonare la palestra comunale, e quindi si ritrovarono senza un luogo dove poter suonare. La fortuna volle che il chitarrista Marco Tarantolo entrò a far parte della band, mettendo a disposizione un locale fisso per poter suonare. In seguito si aggiunse l’elemento mancante, il batterista Luca Zucchetti. L’inconveniente del nuovo locale era che si situava in un luogo lontano dai domicili dei musicisti, e non avendo nemmeno in possesso una patente di guida la cosa si complicava ancor di più. Dopo alcuni mesi riuscirono ad affittare un locale a Chironico. Fu una grande fortuna e l’inizio di una nuova era per i Sonic Wire. Avendo un locale a pochi passi da casa permetteva loro di cimentarsi nelle prove molto più frequentemente e di conseguenza ci fu un netto miglioramento della musica di gruppo. Dopo alcuni mesi il chitarrista Tarantolo lasciò il gruppo. Fu una scelta a favore della band, tre chitarre erano decisamente troppe. Nell'aprile del 2011 Francesco Bellicini ritorna alle origini e si piazza dietro ai tamburi come nuovo (vecchio) batterista.
Ora i Sonic Wire sono più pronti che mai ad affrontare nuove sfide, nuovi luoghi e nuova gente a cui far sentire la loro musica, il loro genere.
