REVIEWS
Plishka
throws himself completely into his stories, and his lyrics paint
mythology and romance. In some places, the frenzied guitar strumming makes a
joyful sound. Other songs, like "And the River Flows" and
"Einstein's Time," are slow, contemplative and mystic. The experience
of listening to "Spit, Sputter, Blow..." has a bit of magic to it.
These songs are beautiful.

Powerful,
and evocative in a very non-traditional way. I tend to hear Jim Morrison-ish
phrasings, though more comprehensible, and in a way that makes you feel the
tunes in your gut.

Capturing
the real essence of the male mind, "Spit, Sputter, Blow…" moves from
powerful impassioned, to sexy and unwittingly adorable.
The
strength of the music, the guitar, guides the listener thru the mind of one
man's passions, feelings, and pain.
The
key to this Album is the raw and powerful voice of Michael Plishka, his melodies
give the listener a real sense of reality, while keeping those catchy overtones
left in your head, you will be walking down the street humming to "Seven
Sisters". Definitely a keeper.
