THE STORY

Thirteen years later, a new beginning.

1 Shot 1 Kill was formed in Grosseto in 2001, bringing punk-rock energy together with ska influences.

After a long pause, the band found the energy to begin again. Part of that return took place inside the Cicci Research headquarters, where a music room became a place to rehearse, decompress and renew a friendship that began long before the company.

Drummer Lucio Cinà and trumpet player Alessandro Ronconi are also Cicci Research co-founders. The connection is personal and authentic: music is one part of the lives of the people behind the company.

THE NEW ALBUM

Qualunque cosa sia

An independent record about change, anxiety, resilience and the right to begin again.

The eleven-track album was recorded, mixed and produced by the band, including its artwork. Rather than looking back with nostalgia, it uses the past as a starting point for a new chapter.

A PEACEFUL MESSAGE

A name that provokes. A message that unites.

Despite its name, 1 Shot 1 Kill is firmly anti-war. The name belongs to punk’s provocative language; the message behind the music is one of peace, human connection and resistance to indifference.

Peace is always worth making noise for.

ISOPHOS SUMMER SCHOOL

Breaking the ice before the science begins.

Since 2025, the band has performed during the opening ceremony of the ISOPHOS Summer School.

The concert helps students, lecturers and organizers meet as people before the scientific programme starts—using music to make the first connections easier.
