The Mulchmen, an immensely
talented trio from Dayton, bring a unique sound that perfectly complements
their sometimes-odd and unconventional musical surroundings. Their music is a
delightful blend of instrumental rock that is sure to intrigue any music
enthusiast.
The Mulchmen are Nick
Kizirnis (cruise director), Brian Hogarth (Co-Pilot), and Gregg Spence
(Navigator). That is lead guitar, bass, and drums in that order.
Big Beef Records has some
prime cuts coming from their studios on this vibrant and diverse album. You
can't quantify it as just surf, yet its influence echoes in the distance. This
is instrumental rock. How do you stick a group like this in a particular genre?
You just can't. Tabbed as surf-rock, they prove time and again that it's a very
narrow description of their diverse sound. Their range is too far into the
distant galaxies of instrumental wanderings to be categorized.
This is an
excellent example of how to use your talent and explore and experiment with music. It's much easier to do when you don't have to sing
a note. Let the music do the talkin'. It speaks loud and clear, and it works.
Listening to The Mulchmen
and their music was an entirely enjoyable experience. Their talent and
creativity shine through in every note, making it a must-listen for any music
fan.
As I listen to The Mulchmen, I find myself scratching my head and wondering why I haven't heard more of these guys. Their music is a testament to their talent and dedication, and it's a wonder they're not more well-known. They cook, and their fine-tuned synchronization is a joy to listen to. If you're an instro head, you need to get smarter and listen to Greetings! From Planet Stupider.
