Press Release:

 

Their music is fun and positive while still being deep and original. It's their unique clarity and devotion to being true to themselves that makes them artists worth watching. With an upcoming EP and full-length album in the works, we won't have to wait long to see more.”

 

Jon Karr - New York Minute

“The new release ‘Still Waters’ EP is an evolution of their debut release and showcases that there is so much more to these guys. It seems that since their first release they have learned a lot and it seems they have strengthened every element of their sound. This has resulted in a very strong release that deserves the attention it is receiving.”
James Wilson - My Random Jukebox

“These guys really are a blend of a lot of what is current and popular right now in the pop-rock circuit yet they do it originally, something a lot of other artists don’t do. This is definitely an album worth cruising down the road to with the top down now that summer is rapidly approaching.”
Ryan Shea - Manhattan Digest

"The Como Brothers Band have excellent song arrangements as well as their lyrics will never be boring. This guitar rock band comes with a significant challenge ahead of them – to transition from a band that is merely a backing soundtrack. This writer/listener believes they have a song within their arsenal down the road that might become the soundtrack to some listeners' lives “.
Melissa Kucirek - Suite101

““Overall, with a production this crisp and professional, the tracks could have sounded scrubbed and perfect like cliche pop music. These songs, however, are so well-crafted that the gloss doesn't distract; they could be right on a Lollapalooza side-stage, or a beach campfire on a couple of acoustic guitars. The Como Brothers Band have that automatic sounding vocal tightness that represents The Speed of Soundoverall. It is what pop rock should sound like in 2012… evolved and without pretense.” "
Eric Jones - Round Magazine

““It’s amazing how much talent this 3 piece brings to the table. The Como Brothers possesses enough musical talent & songwriting prowess to be extremely dangerous in 2012. One would be wise to keep a watchful eye on them. Underneath it all the future looks bright – we shall see. Bring on the Full Length!” ”
Cyrus Rhodes - The Muse's Muse

Songwriting is our primary focus. For us, writing songs is a daily obsession. We want to write songs that are original, creative, and have integrity. Right now, we are recording our first full length album at VuDu Studios in Port Jefferson, NY. The 12 tracks on the album are coming together really well! We are planning to release this debut album sometime in mid 2013.

 

We are very excited about all of our plans for 2013! We were just selected to open for The Wallflowers at Alive@Five in Stamford CT on June 20th 2013. In February, we opened for Jillian Jensen at 89 North Music Venue, played at the Hard Rock Café NYC in the Hard Rock Rising 2013 Finals, and opened for Frankie Zulferino at the Highline Ballroom in NYC. In March, we performed on Balcony TV Charleston and did an on-air interview/performance for a local radio station in Columbia SC. Our music has been placed on MTV's Real World Portland which will air on March 27th. The instrumental version of our song "Your Love" has been placed in ads. for Quicksilver and on the Oxygen Channel's Best Inked,  Three of our songs will also be on the soundtrack of the new Indie movie Wingman Inc., which is coming out later this year.

 

Our music has been accepted on Pandora and is streaming on 70 radio stations and podcasts. It is routinely played on syndicated internet radio shows such as New Driven Cruisin Show, Revolver Underground, and Indie Underground with Uncle Earl. The Como Brothers Band often plays in Manhattan NY at places like The Bitter End and The National Underground. We also perform all around Long Island at bars, town events, charity fundraising events, and festivals.

2012 was a very exciting year for us! We were selected by the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands to perform at The Warped Tour at Nassau Coliseum 7/21. We played Nikon Jones Beach Theater Side Stage before Rachel Crow, Cody Simpson, and Big Time Rush. We were named Emerging Artists by S&IS Shortcut to Sony, went into the Sony building, and had our music heard by Sony A&Rs! We played at the Hard Rock Café NYC as finalists in The Hard Rock Rising Contest. We performed in the Montauk Music Festival, and were asked to play at Sullivan Hall. The band also had a great time playing at Six Flags Great Escape in Lake George, NY. We have had our music played on MTV's Real World St. Thomas and on the E! Networks Keeping up with the Kardashians. We are very excited to have our music heard!

 

In the Hard Rock Rising Contest our song "I Don't Like You" had the most number of downloads in the entire USA. We came in 1st place in Phase I of the Hard Rock Rising competition and played at the Hard Rock Café in Times Square in February 2012.

 

In the spring of 2012, Kayla Stockert approached Matt and Andrew Como because she was just starting out as an original artist and needed help writing songs. Kayla and The Como Brothers co-wrote one song together called "Don't Go Messing with My Heart." Then Matt and Andrew wrote two more additional songs for Kayla to sing called "What They Say" and "Your Love" -- these songs make up Kayla's debut EP with The Como Brothers Band called "Castles in The Sand."
The Como Brothers Band brings an energy, excitement, and originality to the stage that leaves fans wanting more and more of them. The band is very personable and accessible to fans. We can't wait to see you at our next gig!
