2014–2018: Formation, early songs and first album production[]
The founding members of Under the Symphony, guitarist Facundo Nahas and programmer Fernando Flores, are childhood friends who met in Banfield, Buenos Aires. In 2014 Nahas had the idea to mix their musical styles, creating an alternative Rock band with Flores's musical bases (Rap musical pieces with samplers and synthesizers) and the new Pop-Rock compositions created by Nahas. The name Under the Symphony came from the song "Shine for you" written by Facundo Nahas in 2014 and published in 2018.
The first song created by the band was "Like the Person I Wanna Be". Flores made the musical base in 2012 and Nahas wrote the lyrics and the guitar chords in March 2014.
"Shine for You" is the premiere single by Under the Symphony, published in July 2018 on Spotify, followed by "Like the Person I Wanna Be", published in August 2018.
The first studio album Storm in a Volcano was published in December 2018 and contains 11 songs. This album shows the different styles and genres of the band, with songs like "Grey Rainbow" and "Time to Choose", the first one a classic reggae song and the second a powerful hard rock track. It was produced by Facundo Nahas and the album's credits include Leonel Ditarcio on drums, Agustin Costa Ditarcio on percussion and Fernando Nahas on bass and backing vocals.
