Early work


In the late nineties Sabatino played in the punk band Stick Figure Suicide. By 2000 he joined as lead guitarist for Pencey Prep, a post-hardcore and punk band fronted by My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero.[6] Pencey Prep signed to Eyeball Records later that year, and played local shows with The Strokes, Nada Surf and Atom & His Package.[7] Sabatino appeared on two Pencey Prep releases; 2000's demo Long Walk to Forever and full-length Heartbreak in Stereo.[8] Pencey Prep disbanded in 2001, and he began working on a solo acoustic project called Fairmont.[6]



Fairmont



Sabatino signed with Reinforcement Records in 2001 as Fairmont, initially an acoustic solo project.[6] By the time of their first release, Fairmont had become a full band. They have done many US tours and released nine full length albums as well as six EPs.[9][10]



Other work


Singer Teeter Sperber of LadybiRdS approached Sabatino to appear on their 2007 debut album Regional Community Theater and the two share vocals on the track "Lady of Travel and Leisure". In 2011 Sabatino and Sperber released the album Grape Soda as Mergers & Acquisitions. Sabatino authored and illustrated the comic The Black Hat, published in 2012.[11] Sabatino also designs a majority of the album covers for the label Mint 400 Records.

Sabatino founded Mint 400 Records in 2007.[2]
