Wow! That's all I've got to say about this album from Italian quartet 'Sunday Recovery'. These guys certainly know how to rock out in style. I'm in awe. A splendid album which also see's Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) playing bass on a number of tracks. There's definitely something very cool about this album. In fact it's been such a good listen I actually forgot to review it...! The opening track 'Private Joke' is a killer on an opener if you think that couldn't get any better then give the title track 'Coma' a listen along with 'Young Blood', 'Press Play On Tape', 'Pornstar' and 'Lost And Gone'. This is hard hitting rock music at its best filled with great tunes and originality. The production is amazing as is the packaging! That's all I need to say! 9.5/10

Sunday Recovery deliver so much more with Coma and it’s a definite recommendation for all those people who expect a little more intelligence mixed into their music.Simon Mulholland

...And there is absolutely no reason why the world should not be theirs. They've got the slow-fast-slow-here comes the bridge - swell to an epic finish template down pat, and there are more than enough Radioheady bits to keep the serious rock press happy while the girls get weepy and the lads get beery. If they make a windswept video for 'Lost And Gone', and get some serious MTV Rocks / Q video plays, then it should easily be a chart breaker for them.The rocker

Italian rockers, Sunday Recovery, release their album Coma on 3rd October on Mazepa Records and we just got a copy through the gates of hell. First impressions… Awesome!

Sunday Recovery's Coma might not be a complete album in some ways but it is one of the more inspiring and certainly one of the most enjoyable that has seen the light this year so far.Ring Master
- Get Ready to Rock
This album will be of interest to fans of Porcupine Tree (for the intricate arrangements on some songs), the Manic Street Preachers (lyrically) and Pearl Jam (for the agression particulary on 'Private Joke'). Hopefully this album will get the exposure and buzz it deserves as it has the chance to appeal to fans of the aforementioned bandsJason Ritchie

In summary Sunday Recovery are extremely competent musicians, who have taken a considerable amount of time to really work Coma into a rock album that should be appreciated by many listeners...Jimbo Walsh

Coma is an unusual combination, involving a number of different talents in the song writing process, but nevertheless the end result is a slick professional presentation with an overall quite melancholic vibe to it. It‘s certainly a promising debut album from Sunday Recovery.Hunter
- Live Music Scene
It is exciting to hear their individual sounds slot in so well with each other; satisfying like that perfect game of Tetris. This tight knit team of contrasting talent allows for a sound that, despite any feeling of Eurovision cheesiness tingling in the back of your mind, allows them to be taken more seriously in terms of musicians.

"Coma" zeigt eindeutig das große Talent der Band und bei den ungemein vielen sehr guten Ansätzen kann man sich dieses Quartett ruhig auf den Notizzettel schreiben. Schon im Opener "Private Joke" wirft Sunday Recovery das Netz über den Hörer aus und man bleibt bis zum Schluss darin gefangen. Der Beginn des ersten Tracks ist eher unspektakulär. So etwas hat jede Rock-Band drauf. Allerdings liegt die Würze in der Entwicklung der Nummer. Vom erdigen Ambiente hebt das Stück plötzlich losgelöst-groovend gen Himmel und wie an einer langen Feder wird dann wieder bodenständig gerockt. Fabio Staffieri serviert harte Riffs, die ihre Wurzeln zum Teil im Grunge haben. Immer wieder werden lockere, sehr melodische Phasen eingeschoben.
Bio
Italian band Sunday Recovery formed in 2009 when main composer Gianluca Cucchiara began collaborating with singer Mirko Petrini and guitar player Fabio Staffieri. The latter duo were later joined by drummer Fabio Testaferrata and bass player Emanuele Nazzaro. Once a tight unit, the quartet wasted no time in recording their debut album, and the epic, ambitious rock of “Coma” is the result. Musically, the band pay close attention to songcraft whilst pushing boundaries with progressive overtones, whilst lyrically the album deals with everyday issues such as love, sex, politics and the environment. Mirko, Fabio and Tancredi Gaetani worked together with lyricist Andrew James Whelan to create meaningful, empathetic lyrics that would resonate outside of their native Italy in order for their intended emotion and mood to be shared and enhanced. Whelan is the author of four tracks on the CD. The band secured Porcupine Tree bass player Colin Edwin, a fan since their inception, who contributed to the project by playing bass on the tracks “In Front of You” and “Side C”. The band wanted to create an international feel to their debut album which has led them to mix the CD at Sphere Studios in London. Taking influence from the likes of Colin Edwin’s afformentioned Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and the melodic soundscapes of Muse and The Bends-era Radiohead, Sunday Recovery more than meld a sound of their own. Undeniably a brew that contains as much dark as it ever did light, the band are proving experts in the field of hard hitting rock music. Already a leading name in Italy, they are set to break further waves elsewhere when “Coma” is finally released to the rest of Europe in September.
