L'invasione degli Omini Verdi is an Italian punkrock band, formed in July 1999 in the province of Brescia. They are considered one of the most famous punk rock bands in Lombardy. They are associated to other bands like Derozer, Punkreas, Porno Riviste, Shandon and Cattive Abitudini, which play a leading role in the Italian punkrock scene, with their catchy sounds and immediate lyrics. Though they have a big fan base made up of young people, they are sometimes criticized by purists.

The band was formed in 1999, between Mantova and Brescia. The group was originally made up of Maurizio (drums), Alessandro (singer), Patrick (bass) and Peco & Fano (guitars). Soon Fano left the band, and Ale started playing the guitar. The first official album, Veniamo in pace, was released in 2001. Peco left the group during a concert tour in 2002, but they found a new guitarist, Gio, who let Ale leave the guitar and devote himself entirely to singing. The lineup did not change since then.
