"Bento," which in Japanese refers to "a makeup of different things to become one," seemed fitting for this four piece band which has several albums to their credit. While studying abroad in England, Scott Iwata, Bento's founder, started writing songs and had an epiphany that he wanted to start a band. When Scott came back to the Bay Area, he and some friends got together to form Bento. "Alternative, Modern, Indie"...label them at your peril. These guys write songs, first and foremost. And after all the hype has died down, you'll still be quietly singing along to their sweet melodies.
