We're currently recording on our very first album - hopefully available early spring of 2010- with our amazing new drummer Taz (the grumpy bloke on the right)
In the mean time, you can buy the "Afraid Of Thieves" EP CD here...and if you email us with nice messages we can probably give you loads of free live tracks, old demos and all that sort of stuff too
Like so many TYPING MONKEYS Alberto are always writing.
Like the BAD PENNY we will eventually be playing somewhere near YOU.
Like the best things in life, we're usually FREE
Like a virgin. With your HEART BEAT. Next to mine. Oh. oh.

"Alberto Veto play live like men overdosing on skank...the vibes start at the feet and slowly creep up the body until you’re skanking like a goodun along with them. Go see ‘em skankers....they get some HEAT into their tunes!" (Mark Cunliffe, Dandelion Radio)

"You can hear in the relentless thrum of the guitar and the insistent drumming the basis for a mental live performance, and that same purpose translates well to the recorded songs...demands almost constant finger-tapping ...If anything it reminds me a little of Lucky Jim...part way between barroom rasp and lounge croon....it sounds very promising indeed. " (Song, By Toad)

"Alberto Veto have that gritty quality that grabs your attention " (R*E*P*E*A*T fanzine)

"Lead singer/guitarist Sol Baish possesses a warm, Glen Hansard-esque coo that would make any fellow troubadour mad with envy. Propelled by a strong rhythm section and a penchant for heartfelt songwriting, Alberto Veto will make hearts flutter to their atmospheric musical confessionals. “First Ugly Word,” with its stuttering acoustic guitar figures, trumpet textures, and emotive lyrics, showcases the band’s uncanny ability to capture the most intimate of human emotions" (URB Magazine)

Afraid of Thieves is a mellow yet bright EP, with an almost Spanish feel to its guitars. Avalanche draws you in to a climax... Through Her Teeth and Her Tongue's beats will have you tapping your feet.
If this EP and their live performances are anything to go by, their forthcoming album will be well worth a listen" (Leftlion Magazine)
********
"Really cool, fast tempo alt acoustic rock. Seriously, more people should know about this band." (Phat Phidelity)
********
"Something rare theses days for a band to use 'traditional instrumentation'...just bass, drums and guitar and yet still manage to sound like nobody else...there's something unique going on there." (Andy Jones, WTNR radio)
********
"...an incredible sound...The vocalist has an incredible tone to his voice; he balances vulnerability and power awesomely. I really can't praise this enough..." (Richard Hughes, face value records) FACEBOOK FOR GIG NEWS, GOSSIP AND GRATUITOUS SWEARING
