A collision of stereo indie-guitar noise driven by pounding drums and thundering bass. Lou Albino was named in 1997 in Bethany Beach, DE, consisting of members: Steve - guitars, Brad - guitars and Geordie - drums. The band recorded on and off for the next 2 years, which resulted in a compilation LP entitled "487 lbs of Rock n Roll." After several false starts, Geordie moved on and left the band drummerless until 2000 when entered drummer Rob Plitko, who had played with Brad and Steve under the band name BUG. Between December 2000 and September 2003 they recorded and released the "Quiet Resort" (2000) and the "Fillage/Spillage" EP (2001) the "Live at the East End" LP (2001) and then "Two-Thirds Albino EP" under the moniker LO-ALBO. Things slowed down a bit in 2002, but they managed to record the "B-String Leads" LP (2003). Throughout 2002-2003 Steve had begun jamming with Geordie again and recorded under the name Cab Assassin. The two recorded "4 Song Demo" (2003) and Steve recorded "8 Song Acoustic Demo" (2004). In May 2004 Brad and Steve decided to put Lou Albino on hold and perform under the Cab Assassin name. Geordie was unable to participate, so Rob was the obvious choice to play drums. As Lou Albino and/or Cab Assassin, they have gone on make dozens of recordings such as "Funeral for Lou" EP (2004), "Japanese 7 inch" (2005), "Headlight Blind in the Black of Night" EP (2005), "Thirty in Austalia" EP (2005) "Losing All Affiliation" (2005), "Jumbo Lumb Riffs" EP (2006), and "Music is not Math" EP (2006), "5+5=14" (2007), "Just Before the Impact" (2007), "Operation: Argus" (2008), "Like Knives" (2008), Prolong the Agony (2009), Split Release with Spoon Fed Adults (2009), Turbo-Acoustic (2009), Goodbye Sunset Harbor (2010). Filmosonic EP (2011), Single Coil Static LP (2011), Q.R. Acoustic (2011), Hi-Flyer EP (2011), Lost in Sunset LP (2012). They took a break in 2013 to mourn the loss of a friend, member and mentor (Patrick Raison). 2014 has come and the back is back on track to release a bunch of material that was in progress. They finished a 9-Song instrumental mini-album called Ancient Memories came out in March, 2014. In May, 2014 they released the double-length "Broken Strings & Lost Transmissions." This is a collections of re-recorded songs spanning 1995-2001. After a quiet 2015 and 2016, Brad and Steve started working on new material in summer, 2017 and both also began working on a few new projects. Steve recorded an entire album called Memorial Street as a tribute to their dear friend Pat. 20 instrumental Memorial Street demos were released in 2017 while final tracks and vocals were to be recorded. Brad wasn't able to make any contributions to the project so Steve finished the album and released the final version of Memorial Street under the band name Noise Rock Revivial. 2018 has been fruitful with Brad focusing on his acoustic esCape hatCh project, Steve working away at new Noise Rock Revival songs, and a new Lou Albino album partially written for future release.
