The Original Shovelmouth Spotted in NYC…

The lead singer Stephen Favarato of the hard pounding “indy” band PIPE spends a few hours hangin’ out with yours truly from Homegrown Media in NYC. Talk about good time. This dude is a no bullshit, serious as nails musician. Stephen got a taste for “real” metal in the 80’s and 90’s covering the likes of Hendrix, Alice in Chains, Queensryche, Zeppelin, and Judas Priest just to mention a few.

He carried his passion all the way to Amsterdam, where he could “appreciate” things from a different perspective, resulting in a raunchy growl that only comes from intense work.

With the release of their new album Shovelmouth out Favarato remains humble and points to his PIPE counterparts for his inspiration and any future success, especially the other founding member of the band, a wicked guitar freak from NY named Frank Damiano, whose riffs will rattle your spine!

According to Favarato it was a natural fit for he and Frank to hook up with drummer Keith Homel with his emotional “KICK YOUR ASS” driving sound! Rounding out this bunch of misfits is the real aficionado Wayne Landino, a bassist and vocalist with the resume from hell.

This is a must see show. Check out PIPE’s schedule, GO SEE THEM… GET YOUR ASS KICKED!

Thanks Stephen! Peace!
