Betty Ford Center was formed in July 2005. Shortly afterwards, they won four national contests, including the ?Heineken Jammin' Festival? contests, whose guests were SMASHING PUMPKINS, PEARL JAM, JULIETTE AND THE LICKS, AND MANY OTHERS. In January they recorded ?Enjoy the rehab? at the Red House Recordings studio with David Lenci (sound engineer for Shellac and Blonde Redhead). They appeared on the front page of several local and national newspapers, acclaimed for their outstanding originality and, at the same time, for their incendiary live performances.
The band also made many beautiful gigs and got many great reviews, among which we can surely mention the one written by Carlo Pastore, VJ of ?Our Noise? and "TRL", ON AIR EVERY DAY ON MTV. As the band kept performing throughout Italy and also abroad (Belgium, Germany?) they often aired on well known tv channels and radios (including BRF, the belgian national radio...). They were also noticed by a producer, Matteo Cifelli, and started moving between Rome and Milan recording ?UNCOOL?, a powerful five track EP released in 2008. Shortly afterwards they started recording ?POISON FOR YOU?, their first full length. It contains 16 tracks full of violence, sick sweetness and sensual psychosis.
