Biography
Founding members Kurt Woodcock, Ed Miller, and Sal Pirozzi, coupled with the reuniting of bass player Bob Beveridge and the introduction of versatile front man Nathaniel Biro, combine to form a band one can’t deny.  Its planet Earths newest emerging band, F (…as in Frank). “An alternative metal band that has managed to do what few bands can or probably will be able to do…create their very own, unique and out of this world sound. Any band can scream and rant unintelligibly and try to pass it off as “power.” This band does none of that but reaches down somewhere for a power that hasn’t been seen in any other bands of late.” (Twisted Dreams Magazine 2006)

F (...as in Frank) has gotten off to a quick start. Utilizing their years of experience, F has already put together a 4 song EP appropriately titled F ... this EP which features www.garageband.com Alternative Metal’s contest #2 track (House of Mirrors) and the rapidly climbing #7 track (M.O.B.) “People are really digging those songs. It feels great to have people that we don’t even know review our material and have them write back to us how much they love it” states Biro. The EP consists of 4 original, and I mean original, tunes that exceed listener expectations. “We call it Mutt Metal.” says Woodcock, and that’s exactly what it is, a unique blend of anything and everything that has inspired metal lovers since the dawn of metals time.  "We're so proud to be able to deliver something so unique and so listenable, yet still heavy and brutal at the same time." says Pirozzi.  "And we look forward to expanding ourselves even more.  Pushing new boundaries, experimenting with new sounds, and keeping our fans wondering what we're going to come up with next."

Shows:
A majority of the F (…as in frank) fan base is located in Pittsburgh, PA. Crowding clubs and bars such as The Hard rock Café, Longview Lounge, The Z Lounge, Peter’s pub and crushing the second stage of Ozzfest 2006, F delivers a wide variety of originals and covers. (Faith No More: Epic, Stevie Wonder Superstitious, Van Halen: Hot for teacher, Anthrax: Bring the noise, Slayer: Skeletons of society, Charlie Daniels Band: Devil went down to Georgia) The music of F speaks for itself, but the addition of sound activated lighting, lasers, strobes and black lights surrounded by a uniformed band of white sets the tone for an evening of entertaining chaos.
