Stunato

STUNATO creates a highly eclectic and accessible mixture of modern hard rock with elements of acoustic folk, punk, ska, and blues. Rocking grooves, refreshing humor, and cutting, melodic, boy-girl lead vocal harmonies, ala LA punk pioneers X, give STUNATO its unique vibe. The band pulls from diverse influences such as Joni Mitchell, Bad Religion, Rufus Wainright, Burning Spear and Metallica.
