NEW GANDY DANCER REVIEW ISSUE 74
The Plungers are a great band and always come up with something refreshing whether it''s excellent originals or vibrant https://www.tradebit.coms set reminds me of the best of The Ventures'' sound from the sixties. There''s a delicious fuzz and high melodic content on Flaming Arrow for example. And high melody is the keynote between this and thrash instrumental. Their best effort so far, so when''s the next set guys? - Davey Peckett
PIPELINE INSTRUMENTAL REVIEW ISSUE 67
With their previous CD Guitars Gone Wild, The Plungers showed us that they had an authentic vintage surf sound - although I was left wondering if they had quite enough high quality original material to really convince. I''m far more impressed with this release which boasts several catchy tunes and a more imaginative approach.
We kick off with the knockout opener High Plains Surfer, which freely mixes the old west with the old sixties reverb and features a powerful galloping surf rhythm as well as extracts from High Noon and a rather inspired middle section which really builds the tension - super track!
The CD concludes with another super track, Unchained Medley, an inspired blending of Somewhere, Tammy and even a touch of Puccini for good measure, the ever-busy three guitar front line landing a powerful emotional punch to make it a fitting closer.
Fans of vintage surf should be well pleased with this Cd and I feel that The Plungers just moved up into surf division one.
