«If we were a movie, we would probably be a low-budget action drama, with a few sex scenes and no happy end.»

Elio Ricca is an indie rock duo that turns limitations into spectacle. Armed with just a
baritone guitar, drums, and an obsession with original melodies, they create explosive live
shows that feel anything but two-piece. Over the years, they have built their reputation the
old-fashioned way: from mold-infested basements and sweaty clubs to festival stages across Switzerland, all while developing a fiercely independent artistic vision. By now, Elio Ricca has established a distinctive DIY universe of its own, where music, visuals, and storytelling are inseparable.

The new EP «Enough Dog», (Release-date: 29.01.27) blurs the lines between post-punk, synthwave, and modern psychedelia, the EP explores the strange loneliness of modern life—social anxiety, restlessness, and struggles with self-consciousness—without losing the artist’s signature sense of irony and lightness.

«Enough Dog» was written and recorded in just a few days, relying heavily on the magic of
first takes, analog gear, and the duo's characteristic instrumentation. With this new EP, Elio Ricca delivers deeply personal yet universally relatable anthems for anyone who has ever felt like they just don't fit in.
