What the Press are saying about it: “The bands three members, Duane Chaos, Tim Plommer and Zippy Pinhead, have really merged their musical direction. The songwriting is really strong in Teenage Underwear Model and U Generation as well as the title track, Howie the Skid. When I first heard U Generation it reminded me of The Who’s earlier live performances. It is a song that basically kicks you in the face from start to finish”. In the spirit of Rise Against(The Machine), Bad Religion, The Offspring, and of course Green Day, 22nd Century have propelled themselves with vigor and determination with Where's Howie?!!... ...continuing a tradition and style of music that they actually lived and played throughout originally." "This band could be the next Foo Fighters! They sort of sit in that pocket of Green Day/Foo Fighters and crank out high energy, honest rock!" "Tim Plommer (guitar/vocals), Duane Chaos (bass/vocals) and Zippy Pinhead (drums/persussion) deliver a full-fledged musical smackdown with their self-titled release. Gut busting guitar, thundering bass and powerful percussion set the stage for Plommer’s angst laden vocals that are one part pissed off punk and one part grunge master general." "Good song(s)...well produced...memorable" "22nd Century’s hard punching and sometimes comical style is a mixture of Ramones style power punk with a healthy dose of 1990’s grunge." "Tim can shred a guitar,
"Their debut CD was produced by legendary music producer John Webster (Aerosmith, Cher, The Cult) and has garnered attention, including honorable mention in Billboard’s 2009 song writing contest."

22nd Century featured on Los Angeles "Riot on the Sunset" via 272 Records Two Bit Thug Productions, Inc. has placed 22nd's Century's sleazy-guitar riff laden, heavy rock song "Runaway" on the Riot on Sunset (order) compilation CD from 272 Records of Los Angeles, California. This CD features some great tracks from indie artists. When it was first played the light hearted indie-sounding guitar riff reminded us of yet another emo artist which we were tempted to shut down. Glad we didn't! Within 10 seconds the crunching guitar of Paranoid James's "Clue" provides hints of Trent Reznor mixed with San Francisco's Papa Roach. This is quickly followed up by great tracks from Straybullet, Heavy Manic Souls (love your guitar intro guys!!!), Ponamero Sundown (now we're getting heavy!) and 22nd Century's Runaway, the latter with a feel of old school "L.A. Guns" and early Guns 'n Roses. 22nd Century bassist Duane Chaos's favorite track is definitely the 6th - News Rants charging "Change my Life" reminiscent of heavy 1970's melodic hard rock (aka Foghat, The Runaways) dressed with blistering guitar riffs. Other artists are featured and all are worthy of a listen. If you're out to find some new bands and $9.99 isn't too much to ask, take a chance. If you want to help out any of the bands, please call in requests via this list: California (Los Angeles/San Francisco/San Diego): |
