22nd Century

What the Press is saying about it:

"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!"
Doug Manson

"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."
Froglix, 2009

"Good song(s)...well produced...memorable"
The SongCritic.com

"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."
The Association of Rock and Roll Podcasts

"Tim can shred a guitar,
Duane is solid on the
bass and Zippy is nothing
but professional on the kit."
The Auralkinetic, Fall 2009

“Take a riff-driven band with an impressive low-end churn, backed up by mayhem-educing percussion delivered by Zippy Pinhead, and there is no denying the catchy, arena ready hooks that this band effortlessly cranks out……22nd Century is simply a no frills, straight up rock band whose songs are tailor made for popular rock radio.”
Bridgette Oliver, infamousguitar.com (October 15th, 2009)

"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."
IndieZine, Dec 2009

 

Successful show at Nokia Plaza, downtown Los Angeles, CA.

22nd Century played to a crowd of more than 4,000 people at the Nokia plaza in downtown Los Angeles October 6, 2009. The band performed for more than 2 hours straight covering most of their original material from the first CD and some additional originals coming up on the next CD such as "U Generation" (video below).

At one point ex "38 Special" bass player Scott Fegette came up on the stage for a jam of the Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop" (video). The stage was a large venue for the three piece but they filled it well and played to a larger crowd when the LA Kings game ended during the 3 encores dumping an additional 10,000 people into the plaza.
