'Sorry to say, but our greatest ambition was playing a local bar like The Green Room,' says drummer & vocalist Peeps G, 'We were having fun writing songs, learning how to play before we could think about doing a show. Even our first show was nerve wracking. Kevin was the only person in our group who had ever played in front of people. ' Over the next 30 months, Plunt juggled their busy work schedules, expanded into a four piece and recorded whenever the studio had an open day 'We played a few shows over two years, and at one of them, Brian checked us out and I asked if he wanted to play guitar, knowing that he is a bassist. He said 'yes,' remembers Kevin, 'I thought it was great that we had four people who were not playing their original instruments. It brought a different attitude to the songs. ' And now finally, after 2 years, Plunt is proud to present their debut via the ultra-cool and newly relocated in Montreal, Bongo Beat Records. Simple, short and savvy, Plunt's debut CD contains 16 songs that clock in at just over 32 minutes. While it fuses a whole range of influences including late 70s NYC punk and 90s indie-rock, the band also lyrically explores neighborhood living, having S*x, living with cats & dogs, having more S*x, real estate agents, and food, which are all without a doubt, classic songwriting
