JULY 27, 2012 - The immensely cool, windswept cover of The Speed of Sound, The Como Brothers Band’s debut EP, features a ’59 Pontiac Bonneville cruising along the beach in Long Island. The image fully captures the energy and optimism of the NYC based rock trio’s edgy, blues and funk driven vibe and their career trajectory these past few years. And it’s all forward motion from here, as Matt Como (lead vocals, bass), Andrew Como (lead vocals, lead guitar) and Dorian Costanzo (drums) were fan selected out of 20,000 bands to play the  Uniondale, NY date (at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum) of the Vans Warped Tour 2012. Their fiery tune “Can I Be Matched With You?”--one of the four infectious tracks on the EP—was also recently placed on an episode of MTV’s “The Real World.” These are just the latest in an inspiring streak of accolades for the two Como Brothers and Costanzo, who grew up together in Long Island. Since they started gigging seriously in 2010, they’ve played at such historic venues as The Bitter End, Hard Rock Café in Times Square, National Underground, Fontana’s, the Alphabet Lounge, as well as local pubs like The Village Idiot in Patchogue. The band—unique in that both Como brothers are featured equally as lead singers--was also recently asked to play at Sullivan Hall. On their home base of Long Island, they’ve performed at the Long Beach Summer Series,  Sunken Meadow and the Montauk Music Festival. They were also named Emerging Artists by S&IS Shortcut to Sony. All of this is even more remarkable because for much of this time, the band members have been enrolled as college students.
