“Who is to Blame, anyways? I’d like to know. I’m just posing a question. We actually would really like some answers.” - George Comes
“We put our nose to the grindstone to give you a little taste of all the music that we love” -Bobby Villa

Instrumentation includes guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and a horn section comprised of April West (Sue Palmer Band, DXP and Euphoria Brass Band) and loclal sideman, Jonny Viau (Sue Palmer Band) along with a few quirky sounds from stylophone and kazoo used to good efffect.
George and Bobby with drummer, Jim Buehl have played together for 20 plus years and developed a unique sound influenced by the raw, energetic and sparse instrumentation of the Sun Records era, the distinctive reverb-heavy guitar instrumentals of Southern California Surf, and roots music, encompassing a wide range of American musical genres.
