Finned Pilot is a high energy four piece rock band that formed out of the music scene in Orlando, Florida. Drummer Jorge Alvarez and singer/guitarist Zach Frignoca, were the founding members of the group. The two musicians successfully completed a five song demo, catching the attention of Paul Durand, the next member to join. Durand previously fronted the Orlando punk band Undone. With the new addition, the band was now able to arrange vocal harmonies and add Durand’s sonic lead guitar to the music. Zach and Paul grew up going to all ages punk shows that featured music legends such as 7 Seconds, Dag Nasty and NOFX. Jorge grew up in Venezuela learning world beat rhythms and listening to American rock n roll. The last ingredient needed to round out Finned Pilot’s sound was bass player Al Ruiz. Formerly of the band Michigan Winter, Al refined his musicianship with constant touring and recording. Ruiz met guitarist Durand sharing the stage locally in Orlando and became the final member in the band. The combination of musical styles resulted in the eclectic song writing that defines Finned Pilot. The band continues its relentless efforts in song writing, performing and self promotion.
