Sounds Like
1960s and 1970s classic rock n' roll.
1960s to present folk.
1980s to 1990s rock n' roll.
1990s grunge.
present experimental, modern rock, throwback rock.
specifically sounds like dada meets transcendentalism.
During the past year of this bands existence we have constantly been asked the meaning behind our name; Carbonaut. The truth is, the creator of the word, our lead singer/lyricist Chad, has penned a very acute and overarching definition which can be found on the website. However, after traveling as much as we have and meeting just as many interesting people it seems the name, along with the band, has changed.
No longer are we a five-piece. Our friend and co-founder Noah Zinter has since hung up his Sharpie markers and six strings for the seminary and is sorely missed. As well, our good friend Scott Solemena has moved on as well leaving the band as it began but somehow anew as a four-piece. The four that began this journey have found themselves back at the beginning. Yet they are somehow changed, with an ostensible lifetime of experiences behind them and a wealth of new songs within them.
Thus, the name Carbonaut has not really strayed from its root of carbon. It inhabits every living, thinking organism and much like the cosmonaut travels to lands formally unknown, returning wholly changed. In essence we are all Carbonauts and the music is simply the soundtrack to each and every individual journey. We will continue to craft the music as long as you all are willing to take the journey; this is Carbonaut. Welcome, again, and yet again.
::::THE NOT-SO-FORMAL BIO::::
What can i expect from a carbonaut show?
Chad: "We have so much fun on stage, it should be illegal... it's like a bar fight set to a waltz."
we're a four piece, formally a five-piece... took a year to figure out what we are doing and now we're back... we drink wild turkey... we've smashed guitars, cymbals, amps, drums... we generally rock... our favorite bands include , but are not limited to, the mars volta, tool, circa survive, the refused...
period the end... now come out to a show!

"I have been playing the song since I received it and it has been a huge hit. As you may or may not know, the U.S. X-Games were held here in California the other week. Before the surfing competition, Two (2) of the surfers that were going to compete, asked if they could use the song, Open Door Closing, by CARBONAUT, in their mix track while they were in the water. I gave them the go-ahead and they used them. While I cannot release the name of the surfers, I can say that they loved the song, as well as other surfers, and numerous fans in the crowd. It seemed to me that the song went over as a GREAT hit!!"
"...amazing band who has great potential to go very far."

Carbonaut is here and they sound like they..'re ready to fight. In your face aggressiveness, tight, complex rhythms, and a great sense of song writing. Everyone in the band is loaded with talent, massive guitar hooks(without being predictable) cool singer with a unique voice kind of Robt. Smith but not really.. These guys are going to be big. Better than your average radio friendly alt-rock band that..'s for sure.
