Clear Channel New band, Urbansnake, is an alternative metal/rock band from The Bronx, NYC. The bands is influenced by a tapestry of creative heavy acts from the 70s through today, and has received worldwide airplay and strong reviews (see press page).
Urbansnake aspires to compose music that doesn't draw on trends, but, instead, on the musical tastes of its individual members. The result is heavy and original.
Garageband.com reviewers have described Urbansnake as "face-ripping" and "blinding."
Lead singer, Vinny Corvino has fronted several New-York based hard rock and metal bands, amongst them Holy Motorpunk and Stabbing Negatives. Holy Motorpunk's single, Meditation 17, received airplay on The Radio Chick show on New York's 102.7 WNEW.
Rhythm Guitarist, Kevin Aponte's band Semanon drew serious interest from Metal Blade Records, but disbanded shortly thereafter. Before starting Urbansnake with singer, Corvino, Aponte toured the Florida club scene with Slyce. Corvino and Aponte have been a songwriting team for several years. The two were the major creative forces behind Holy Motorpunk. Aponte later rejoined with Semanon drummer, George Paige to form Stabbing Negatives.
Lead Guitarist Andy Romeo and Bassist James Papa were the driving force behind NYC's Requiem. During the '90's, Requiem headlined in clubs throughout the city and opened for major acts including Life of Agony and Biohazard. Requiem received airplay on commercial and college radio and toured clubs along the East Coast.
Drummer, Hemi Bordowitz, played in the bands Lost Art and On My Signal.
