The best kept secret in music
Press
"...the foursome has found the right recipe for success...an outlook evident within the catchy and harmonizing hooks, keystrokes and ballad-like riffs."
"Abandanato's tunes are a breath of fresh air, what with sweeping lyrical harmonies and well-tuned piano-guitar pop. We dare you to listen to "Usual Day" without smiling and bopping along with the keys." - The Independent
""Usual Day", has a catchy upbeat melody, the album’s best lyrics, and a fun interlude in which the keys seem to strike up a conversation with the ax. The bare emotion and lush instrumentation of "October" is also a winner. Abandonato obviously has talented musicians and inventive ideas." - The Gazette
Morris Beegle, president and owner of Hapi Skratch, informed us of the Hyperactive Festival and the South Park Festival and wants Abandonato to perform as a Hapi Skratch representative. He can be reached as a reference at morris@hapiskratch.com. Our manager Jordan Howard can also be contacted for more information at jordan@abandonato.com. - Morris Beegle

Bio
In a market over saturated with angst-ridden, one-dimensional rock bands and frivolous, shallow pop groups, the voice and sound of Abandonato stand out in the crowd. A band that offers both musical and lyrical depth, Abandonato is exciting and engaging, presenting messages of peace and hope as well as the celebration of great music and real life.
The sound and style of Abandonato results from many varied musical influences and interests coupled with the band's refusal to be boxed in by any one particular style. Rock, blues, jazz, pop, rhythm & blues, and a myriad of other genres come together to form the unique sound of the band. What results is a tapestry of catchy melodies, tight harmonies, infectious grooves, and musical diversity that sets Abandonato apart in the modern music scene.
With songs that range across the full scope of human experience, Abandonato expresses a myriad of feelings and emotions that all people feel. From heartbreak and anger to love and joy, the themes of Abandonato’s music are relevant and relatable. At times electric and exhilarating, at times spiritual and reflective, the songs are always passionate and powerful.
Musicianship is a key ingredient to the unique chemistry and sound found in Abandonato. Each of the four band members keep to a serious practice and rehearsal regimen, constantly refining their craft to better the sound of the band as a whole as well as improving their own musicality. This aspect of Abandonato is evidenced in the band’s several instrumental songs and jaw-dropping solo spots during their live shows. And while the band stands out as technically and musically impressive, they remain conventional and accessible.
In sum, Abandonato's sound and message are fresh and new amidst a crowd of trite and recycled musical acts. The band refuses to limit itself to one style, message, or sound in order to express themselves artistically and musically. Whether it is in a hard-driving, up-tempo rock song or a deeply felt and moving ballad, Abandonato seeks to present a new side to modern rock, one that believes in great music and real life.
