Biography
Triplet are an European Rock band, with strong Punk rock and Pop-Punk influences.
Hailing from southern Europe (Portugal), in a few years, they played a bit all over the old continent, and being from from what could be considered the "European California", that sure leaves a print on their music, and positive attitude.
Featuring Aussie female singer Jasmin Jones, who really makes them stand out, and together with Ben's voice, the talented guitarist, they create a really fresh combination, something in between of Paramore and Shiny Toy Guns.
Their live shows are electrifying, and fun.
Side to side to their music, Triplet are big on making a social positive influence, making "Faith Hope and Love", their motto.
Band members are:
Jasmin Jones - Vocals
Ben Monteiro - Guitar & Vocals
Ruben Soares - Bass
Pedro Soares - Drums
Early years:
The band was formed by Jasmin and "the sweed" Aleksi Ketunnen who played guitar (no longer a member), who recruited the brothers Pedro and Ruben Soares, to play drums, and bass respectively. They started playing Ska-Punk music, and together they put out a Demo, extremely rare.
After some time and some shows, they met Ben, and a great friendship was born.
Being a musician himself, and producing their single entitled "Just the way you are", it didn't took long till he joined the band.
Later, Aleksi left the band to go back to his home country Sweden, and a vacancy was left.
Long time fan and friend of the band, Ivo Ferreira filled the spot, and immediately went on a tour through the UK with the band. During this era, Triplet recorded what would be their debut album "A fight for your heart", self recorded, funded, produced, through out the year 2006, and released it on Indie label "Raging Planet".
Shortly before the record came out, Ivo would leave the band, and eventually Triplet would opt to settle as a four piece band.
Soon after the record came out the single "Eye43" was released, reaching number 34 on the Portuguese single charts, and the video reaching all the way up to number 4, on MTV's hit list, and number 3 on MTV's Rock chart.
Despite coming from a small country with little or no big international Rock names, other than the goth metallers "Moonspell", or the punk rockers "Fonzie", they have left quite a trail, outside of their country.
Triplet are currently working on what seems to be their follow up, but so far the group has remained silent, about future plans, but it seems they are recording.
