Talent BORGO PASS

Heavy-Duty New York Sludge!!!

Powerful heavy-duty rock laced with melodic, and dynamic grooves is how New York's Borgo Pass describes their sound. As a five piece band formed in the mid 90's, Borgo Pass has built themselves a large loyal fan base with their grooving infectious sound. They have also created quite a buzz in the heavy music scene as a force to be reckoned with now, and for a long time to come. Borgo Pass cites hard rock/metal and good ol' southern rock from the late '60's and '70's and mixes it together with a more modern and aggressive approach, with realizations of everyday life as their main influence. The band's second self-produced album "Powered by Sludge", released in early 2000, was extremely well received by their ever growing legion of fans, creating a feeding frenzy of downloading on MP3.com. The album became critically acclaimed worldwide, being named one of the top 10 albums of 2000 by the Netherlands' Aardshock Magazine! Borgo Pass has shared the stage with the likes of Type O Negative, SuperJoint Ritual, Alice in Chains, Clutch, Kittie, Bio-Hazard, Life Of Agony, Kings X, The Misfits, Unida, Vince Neil (Motley Crue), Overkill, Dokken, W.A.S.P. and many more. The band continuely plays with the local, heavy, Long Island Music Scene which involves many strong up and coming bands. Borgo Pass had their first self-sufficient tour of the Southern United States in Oct-Nov including a wicked performance at The House of Shock (NOLA). Borgo Pass released their long awaited 5 song EP under the guidance of producer and Ex-Scatterbrain/Ludichrist guitarist Paul Nieder. The sessions produced 5 sludgehammer tracks featuring "Shame" & "I've Been Down". Currently, Borgo Pass has released their latest 11 song recording titled "Nervosa" which was produced by the very talented Crispy Chicken and BFP. If you enjoy music that is powerful, diverse, and emotionally charged, then you must experience this roller coaster ride of the senses called Borgo Pass.
