GANTO BARN HAS BEEN AROUND FOR AGES, DOING WHAT THEY KNOW BEST, ALWAYS KEEPING THE PEOPLE ON THEIR TOES, MAKING EARDRUMS BURST, AND ROCKING HARDER THAN ANYONE IN THE AREA.

   Having been founded by Eric Serota, and Christopher Post, under numerous previous monikers, in August 1998, GANTO BARN is deadset on doing whatever it is we love... after going through drummers like tissue paper, the 2 finally settled on an energetic, dedicated, hard hitter with a love for the same things in music as themselves,  Robert Montenegro of South Philly, formally of The Wonderland Murders, Sourdough, and many other previous projects, joined up in October 2006,  making GANTO BARN, a powerful machine that requires little effort, other than lots of heart and soul.

     Our collective influences are as follows: ANYTHING THAT SPEAKS FROM THE HEART, ANYTHING THAT ROCKS: QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, NIRVANA, BURNING BRIDES, MELVINS, FU-MANCHU, NEBULA, TORI AMOS, PJ HARVEY, REGINA SPEKTOR, BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN, THE MISFITS, LOCAL H, TAD, GREEN RIVER, MUDHONEY, SOUNDGARDEN, ALICE IN CHAINS, FUGAZI, MINOR THREAT, SLAYER, THE BEATLES, THE CURE, THE SMITHEREENS, THE VASELINES, DANIEL JOHNSTON, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, MASTODON, NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL, DISMEMBERMENT PLAN, Q AND NOT U,  JUST TO NAME A FEW...

      All we hope for in the future is to able to eventually make a normal but comfortable living at music,to be able to wake up in the morning and not dred going to work.  In today's world, its all you could ever hope for.
