The DeRellas are a band started by Timmy DeRella, x Glory Strummers, and Robbie Tart, x Vibrators. Tom Carter quickly joined them and after auditioning a few guitarists, Luca, used to play with Tom in Infant Skull Surgery but also played guitar for Los Paraliticos, became their lead guitarist. That was back in 2007, more or less. The band quickly got the interest of the British press, Big Cheese Magazine especially, but they also got good reviews on Classic Rock and several "glam rock/ punk" fanzines like Bubblegum Slut.
