The Plungers are a 7 piece surf instrumental group featuring3 guitars, bass, 6 string bass, and electric baritone and 12string guitars. The songs are all original. The bands maininfluences are The Ventures, The Astronauts, and Link Wray. VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE REVIEWThe Plungers have to rank as the most prolific band on the surf scene, releasing two CDs of killer originals in 2003. And as good as Land of a Thousand Surf Guitars was, it's followup, Guitars Gone Wild, ups the ante, with 21 instrumentals - each more evocative than the one before. Not an easy feat. The septet (which grew out of a University of Oklahoma combo called The Sperm Counts, who dressed up in Dracula outfits) features dual lead guitars, rhythm guitar , bass, Fender bass VI, baritone (sometimeselectric 12 string) and drums. This multi-layered approach sets The Plungers apart from any instro-surf band on the scene today , or probably ever.The staccato, reverb-drenched "Takin' The Plunge" is reminiscent of the Astronauts, while "Ridin' Tall" sounds like vintage Shadows, and you can guess the influence behind "Link". "Spring Break" (you've got to love a band that names songs after its outboard reverb tank) exhibits the type of melodic sense that marks ex-Belair Paul Johnson's recent solo work. And the swirling "Mondo A Go Go" is as intricate as anything by Laika & The Cosmonauts.The songs are all group collaborations, and the members also shared production duties. Amazingly, with everything that's going on (with additional percussion on most tracks and Terry "Buffalo" Ware's slide for good measure on "Surfcracker") the sound never turns to mud. - Dan Forte (all rights reserved) Guitars Gone Wild Music | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Oldies, Surf | | Label | No Sweat | | Orig Year | 2003 | | CD Universe Part number | 7190600 | | Catalog number | 22624 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Aug 26, 2003 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Recording Time | 45 minutes |

$12.78 With a sludgy, chainsaw guitar sound that owes as much to early Black Sabbath as to Kurt Cobain's heroes The Melvins, whose drummer puts in an appearance here, Nirvana emerges from Seattle's underground scene as standard-bearers of a style that embraces the anger and energy of punk alongside the thick, muddy sonic attack favored by early '70s proto-metal bands. Cobain's lyrics are fueled by outrage and self-loathing, combining ...

$11.39 "This band is family..."From out of the mountains of Virginia & the Ozarks, an exciting new rock trio-Divided by threeOur musical mission statement:This band is family...literally. Three members, two of which are brothers, the third, a brother-in-law, totally committed to writing original music and when in the mood, we play creative covers for fun. The band's age range spans three decades. Tim is seventeen, Curtiss is twenty-seven and Michael is thirty-five. So we have the teens, the twenty somethings and the thirty somethings covered. That's three decades of musical appeal at work for ya!We hope that our music brings you joy and excitement, as much as it does us. We all would love to have the music provide us with the opportunity to do it full time, pay our bills and have fun, because it is truly what we love to do-that my friends is the goal.Who does what?Tim Long- bassTim is truly the little brother of the group and the most adorable. Young girls will eat him up and the mom's will want to pinch his cheek. Tim is our definitive source of teenage angst and emotion. Tim has a great love of music and just as equal, is his passion for it, not to mention his ever-expanding talent on the bass guitar. Curtiss Long- drums All Curtiss wants to do is play the drums. If he could do that and nothing else, he would be as happy as a clam. Curtiss' past credits include a musical collaboration that was considered for use on the "This Old House" television program.Michael Wilkinson- voice, guitar, pianoMichael will tell you that his first love is songwriting. The writing has always been there for him and continues to be one of his greatest passions, and blessings.Michael has performed throughout the mid atlantic area quite extensively in his past musical lives in such bands as Barrage, Assylum, First Impression, Dr. Seuss, Riff Raff, and Grunjee Mutt. He has worked with James Turner Productions, Cellar Door Productions and various club owners throughout the area, supporting such notable national acts as, Blue Oyster Cult, ...

Guitars Gone Wild songs
$13.15 “They mix in a smattering of power pop and alt country for an alternative pop-rock album that will defy your logical reasoning about what relatively unheard of bands are capable of accomplishing” Smother Magazine“Dave Matthews vocals over an indie pop canvas. Pastel Rain sounds like a sure fire hit you would hear on pretty much any radio station that plays the likes of Good Charlotte, Ryan Adams, Dave Mathews and all points in between” Ear Candy Magazine“Anthill’s second record is a quantum leap beyond its first. There isn’t a dud on this 8 song recording. A-“Tom Harrison Vancouver Province “A cross between Counting Crows, Coldplay and Oasis, the most distinctive thing on this CD is lead singer, Mark Osachoff's vocals.

Later that evening, he gets to watch the headliners from backstage seats and “maybe meet Jeff Tweedy.”Considering the critical acclaim and growing fan base Anthill is experiencing, it may be a dream realized in the not-too-distant future.As a musician, Osachoff is light years away from the day he decided to learn a few cover songs.
