Calibro 35 is an Italian band known for their unique blend of funk, jazz, and cinematic soundscapes. With a distinctive style that draws inspiration from classic Italian film scores and 70s crime thrillers, Calibro 35 has carved out their own niche in the music industry.

Similar to bands like Marlene Kuntz, Afterhours, and Offlaga Disco Pax, Calibro 35 brings a fresh perspective to the Italian music scene. Their experimental approach to composition and production sets them apart from traditional rock or pop acts.

With influences ranging from Bud Spencer Blues Explosion to Verdena, Calibro 35's discography is a testament to their versatility as musicians. Fans of C.S.I., CCCP – Fedeli Alla Linea, and Diaframma will appreciate the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres while maintaining a distinct sound.

Released in 2018, Decade marked 10 years of Calibro 35's career and it's the very first album recorded by Calibro with an orchestral-inspired enlarged line-up that features horns, strings and percussions. Mixed and recorded by Calibro's usual suspect and Grammy Award winner Tommaso Colliva, on the album all the influences collected by the band during their last ten years' journey like music, collaborations, movies, gigs, books find their space.

Musically Calibro's 35's inner influences like Ennio Morricone - listen for instance to the epic journey of the album's end credits "Travelers" - Luis Bacalov and David Axelrod are still there but are now mixed with elements from afrobeat or cosmic jazz. "Psycheground" sounds like Tony Allen involved in writing a score for a vintage Hollywood production while Sun Ra lurks on "Modo". Everything is mixed up with new influences from modern musical languages. References to Jaga Jazzist, Budos Band or Alternative Jazz and Alternative Hip Hop new acts such as Makaya McCraven, Yussef Kamaal, Oddisee can all be found on the album.
