Rooted in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Carnivore brings the indie rock scene to life. Founded by brothers Joe and Pat LaGuardia, the band's music is a poignant reflection of their authentic selves. They're not trying to be anything they're not - they're just a bunch of thirty-somethings with day jobs, looking to connect with people through their music. Their songs capture the relatable emotions and experiences of everyday life, making their music accessible to a broad audience.
Having played together since they were kids, the LaGuardia brothers have honed their advanced songwriting skills and produced a unique sound that's both established and actively not pigeonholed. Their music, self-produced and released in waves over the years, draws influences from notable acts like The Grateful Dead, Oasis, and Beck. Their latest EP, 'Banana Strings,' showcases their progression and talent.
Mr. Carnivore doesn't just aim to create music but to build a community around it. Their live performances are lively, fun, and relaxed, making audiences feel included and engaged. With several official music videos and a dedicated following that forms the base of their community, they're a band that's on the rise and eager to connect with more listeners.
