Mas Rapido! is one of the many aliases of guitarist and vocalist Donna Esposito (formerly with the Cyclones) and bassist and vocalist Frank Bednash (ex-Riff Doctors), a duo with a knack for energetic power pop and stellar songcraft. New Yorker Esposito and North Carolina native Bednash began making music together in 1983, releasing numerous albums under different monikers like Cowboy and Spingirl and Toothpaste 2000. After a sojourn in the U.K., Esposito and Bednash found a new home in Hoboken, New Jersey, and began making uptempo pop music again, this time with a sharper, punk-influenced edge, under the name Mas Rapido! ~ Mark Deming
