about

Guitarist Anthony Curtis, bassist Greg LaBudde & drummer Pippin Barnett [Curlew, Nimal, No Safety, etc.] serve up a "power trio" record that goes WAY beyond the normal conventions of that lineup.
Pippin's idiosyncratic & incredible drumming shows why his work is held in such high regard, while Greg plays the John Entwhistle role, anchoring the band, but still having a large sonic role.
Anthony is a Richmond-area guitar legend, of whom famed jazz guitarist Pat Martino said, "Anthony's virtuosity is tremendous. He IS new music." His smeary, fractured, "bad-acid" wah-wah work puts a noisey, post-psychedelic slant on top of the solid, sometimes Massacre-like rhythm section.

"...from hallucinogenic drones to free-jazz wigout."
-The Penn

"Boom is a guitar/bass/drums power trio, but the complex beats, stop and go writing, and abrupt song endings turn the basic recipe into something out of the ordinary...Anthony Curtis' guitar work is full of twangy bar and wah-wah moves. He should appeal to fans of another "twangy" new music guitarist: David Fiuczynsky. The other highlight of the album is Pippin Barnett's drumming. The ex-Nimal and No Safety drummer puts his complex and very precise chops at work to great results."
-AllMusic Guide
