Stunato

About Me


STUNATO creates energetic modern hard rock with boy-girl lead vocal harmonies. The band's sound is equally inspired by the hardcore punk of Bad Religion, layered vocal harmonies of Queen and fused with the alt pop sensibilities of Veruca Salt and comedic elements reminiscent of Tenacious D and Ween.
The band’s first single “WHEN BUSH COMES TO SHOVE, “ from the EP Tag was released on Italian Radio’s RADIO ROCK station in Rome, Italy in 2006.
STUNATO are currently recording the upcoming album “THESE KNIVES DON’T WORK,” due for release in 2008.
