Lillians are an Italian punk rock band formed in 2022 in Cesena. The original lineup features Marco Piccoli (bass, vocals), Filippo Cinotti (guitar, vocals), and Cristopher Amadori (drums). In 2025, longtime friend Nicola Casadei joined the band as a second guitarist, further expanding their sound and live impact.
Since their early days, the band has stood out for its explosive energy and direct, emotional songwriting, building a sound that blends the raw power of classic punk rock with catchy pop melodies. The Lillians draw from the ’90s and 2000s melodic punk rock tradition, taking inspiration from bands like blink-182, Sum 41, and Rise Against, while developing a personal and contemporary voice.
Their songs explore themes such as alienation, self-destruction, and resilience, always maintaining a strong connection to personal and generational experiences.
Following their early singles, including “Move On” and “So, So Long”, the band released their debut album I Wish I Lived This Life in 2024 via independent label Tropical London Records. The record is a collection of driving anthems and introspective lyrics, capturing the struggle of finding meaning in a chaotic world.
In 2026, the Lillians returned with a new release: their reinterpretation of “Dwayne Johnson”, originally by Menagramo. Their version revisits one of the Lombardy band’s most cutting tracks—an attack on opportunism within the punk scene—reworking it with a more energetic and modern approach, fully aligned with their sound.
Whether on stage or in the studio, the Lillians deliver honest, energetic, and immediate music, designed to connect with anyone who has ever felt out of place, confirming them as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the new Italian punk rock scene.
Lillians join already announced acts MXPX, Talco, Grade 2, Uguaglianza, Duracel, Trauma, and Libidine for the explosive lineup of Punkadeka Festival 2026.
