| Charetta New York City USA |
CHARETTA is a female-fronted modern rock band based out of
New York City. Formed in 2007, the band’s sound has hard rock
elements similar to artists such as Breaking Benjamin and RED,
while layering angst-filled, yet melodic, female vocals. One fan
accurately summarized Charetta’s sound by stating, “it sounds
like Alanis Morissette punching Chevelle in the face.”
In the summer of 2011, CHARETTA plans to release “A Nation
Distracted,” which was recorded at Vudu Studios and produced
by Mike Watts (Story of the Year, Theory of a Deadman) and
Steven Haigler (Fuel, Brand New). “Great grooves, monster riffs,
and killer vocals,” says Watts. To the delight of their loyal fans,
the band is currently planning an EP release show at a major
venue in New York City this summer.
CHARETTA (pronounced “sha-RET-uh”) consists of Angelina
DelCarmen (vocals), Pablo LaFrossia (guitar), Chris Fullam
(guitar), Richard Mollo (bass), and Adonis Sanchez (drums). The
band started in 2007 when Pablo and Adonis, who were long-time
friends and veterans of the local scene, wanted to start a new
project with an amazing vocalist. Through a Myspace posting,
they found Angelina. “She sang on our demos and just blew us
away. One audition was all we needed to hear,” says Adonis. It
was at that time the project was named, but the band prefers to
keep the meaning of CHARETTA a mystery. Only their most
dedicated fans know their secret. Several months and many
auditions later, the band added Richard as their permanent
bassist, and the band’s foundation was born. In July 2009, the
band released their debut album “Defying the Inevitable” which
was produced by Brett Hestla (Creed, Dark New Day). Since then,
CHARETTA has made countless appearances in the Northeast
region (opening for national acts such as Saliva and Smile Empty
Soul), put out a music video for “Runs In The Blood,” and have
had their music featured in the independent film release “5th of
a Degree,” as well as the television program “The Mun2 Look”
on Mun2. In late 2010, before going into the studio to record
what would become “A Nation Distracted,” the band added Chris
as their second guitarist. “Chris and I have similar styles. We are
both heavily influenced by Mark Tremonti (Creed, Alter Bridge),
so it was a very natural fit,” shares Pablo. Now a 5-piece, the
band is performing regionally to promote their upcoming release.
Discovering the meaning behind the band’s name CHARETTA
remains a challenge, but finding their music is definitely not.
You can find them online at Charetta.com, as well as many other
popular music websites such as Pandora.com and Jango.com.
Their music is also available for sale in major digital outlets such
as iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby.
