With roots in the local Pittsburgh hardcore and rock scene of the 90's (cavemen from Oklahoma, six gun jury, white wreckage and mr lovenapkin) Chupacabra's eclectic blend of trashy rock/pop and atmospheric Americana bring an edgy style of storytelling, punk rock drive and nuanced "jangliness" to what they do. With titles like "white trash love song", "faster than robots" and "hypno havenot", their music blends poetry with pure rock dedication, while balancing a tongue in cheek/yet dead serious delivery. All the members are originally from Pittsburgh, forming in late 2009 with a four-piece line-up of Michael Lotenero (vocals), Mark Urbano (guitar) Buddy Bagovich (bass) and Aaron Leimkeuhler (drums). If you don’t come for the music and rough hewn good looks, stay for the branded breath mints and finger puppets.
