About Patent Pending


Pop-punk outfit Patent Pending (aka the P-Unit) formed in Mount Sinai, NY (on Long Island), with the mantra "We mosh because we care" held close to their collective heart. The group was comprised of vocalist Michael Ragosta, guitarist Joe Ragosta, bassist Drew Buffardi, and drummer Anthony Mingoia, though each lovingly adopted Pending as their last name. They took their exuberant live show across the country for a few years, playing everywhere from coffeehouses and basements to side stages at the Warped Tour and Bamboozle to opening for the likes of Brand New and Taking Back Sunday. Along the way, Patent Pending self-released two albums in 2004, ...Is Your Biological Father and Don't Quit Your Day Job, in addition to putting out two DVDs, 2003's Drop and Give Me 20 and 2005's Bring It On. The quartet signed to We Put Out Records in early summer 2005 and hit the studio with producer Joe Pedulla (Thursday, We're All Broken) manning the controls. (The Ragosta brothers are cousins with Pedulla, who is also Thursday guitarist Steve Pedulla's brother.) The resulting full-length, Save Each Other, the Whales Are Doing Fine, hit stores in June 2006. That fall, Patent Pending and Buffardi parted ways. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi
