Valet Parking is a four peice pop-punk band from Long Island New
York. The band mixes elements of contemporary pop-rock with punk, hard
rock, and emo to create a tight and accessible sound. Consisting of
four members Matt Lagattuta (Vocals,Guitar), Nick Ohrnberger
(Vocals/Guitar), Jerry Meehan (Bass/Vocals), Cj Kostaras (Drums), they
each bring their own muscial and personality elements to the band.
During the writing of the new EP, the band sat down and began
to critique their older material and figure out ways to make it
better. After reviewing their older songs, they decided to continue to
write energetic songs, but to make the lyrics more personal and
serious, but manage to keep them as catchy and memorable as possible.
The band took the summer of 2008 to write the best possible songs they
could. The band wrote about twelve songs, which was eventually
narrowed down to seven (incuding the intro and outro). More than
satisfied with the outcome, they felt they needed to give these songs
the chance they deserve by entering a professional studio. With
top-shelf producer Mike Watts (The Almost, As Cities Burn, As Tall As
Lions) producing their new record which eventually ended up with the
name "Blackout", it was sure to be a solid record. They released
Blackout at the Vibe Lounge on January 18th, 2009 to a sold out crowd
of 300 people. Ever since the release of the EP the bands popularity
has been growing rapidly.
Valet Parking has played 100+ shows in the Tri State area and
have sold over 1000+ copies of their EP Blackout. The band will do
whatever it takes to get recognized and to make this dream a reality.
