Biography Coming out of Athens, Greece is the female fronted heavy rock band 4Bitten. After six years of playing a strong part in the Athens club scene, performing covers and original tunes, the band that formed in 2002 hit the studio and in April 2009 released their first studio album titled ‘No More Sins’ from the English record label Rocksector Records. The four founding members, U.S. raised Fofi Roussos (vocals), George M (guitar), Angelo Giampouras (drums), and Akis “Rooster” (bass), toured the UK on several occasions during the same year including a tour supporting Dan Reed (Dan Reed Network). The four also shared the stage wth Tygers of Pan Tang in Athens, and a Greek tour with Blayze Bayley (ex- Iron Maiden). In 2010, the band returned to the UK as the main support for the 30th anniversary tour of the legendary rock band, Michael Schenker Group, where they received great reviews! While there they also supported Dave Evans (ex- ACDC) and topped it off by playing the SOS Festival in Manchester. Two years after the release of their first album, they returned to the studio to record their second album, and got to give a preview of some of the new tracks when they supported Uriah Heep in Athens in March of 2011, Grim Reaper in November, and The Devil’s Blood in January of the next year. The album with the name “Delirium” was released in April 2012 once again from Rocksector Records and in July they played the Open Air Festival in Thessaloniki where fellow countrymen Firewind were headliners. In February-March 2013 4Bitten was the main support band for UFO on their UK/EUROPEAN tour dates, and upon returning, they began writing new material for their third album. That year continued with 4Bitten being the opening for Uli Jon Roth, Spiritual Beggars, and in November an acoustic gig with Eric Martin (Mr. Big). In July of 2014, they played the Open Air Festival in Bari, Italy where they had the opportunity to play some of the new tracks off the upcoming album, as well as September with Steam Roller. 4Bitten released their 3rd album, “Rewind & Erase” via the Leaders Records, in June 2015. “Rewind & Erase” has a much heavier sound. With influences ranging from Black Sabbath and Janis Joplin, to Black Stone Cherry and Alter Bridge (to name just a few), 4Bitten have a hard rock American sound. Although the band is fronted by a woman, the strong guitar riffs are intertwined with dynamic and strong vocals which have definitely been influenced by voices like Myles Kennedy. “Rewind & Erase” has received awesome reviews and to promote the album, in November of 2015, 4Bitten did a European tour with Black Star Riders. Upon returning to Greece, the band decided that it was time for a change. The ‘new’ sound had to really take shape on stage as well as in the studio. So, in May of 2016, guitarist John Mcris became the fifth member of 4Bitten. November of 2016, the five-some will be taking the stage at Hard Rock Hell X Fest in Northern Wales and UK dates are scheduled to follow that appearance.
