Wunderkind - Dogs and Guns

In November 2011, my band mates released our first vinyl single, "Wunderkind" and "Dogs and Guns." We did these sessions with Trent Bell at his studio, Bell Labs, in Norman in April 2011. You can buy this traditional A and B-side 45 rpm single at Modern Peasant Records for $4.00, as vinyl sounds best. You can download it for free at Bandcamp, but that doesn't help us with our drum, amp, and guitar repairs, so support us indy garage rock bands. Jeremy, our bass players and singer, wrote "Wunderkind," while Robert, our guitar player, wrote "Dogs and Guns," a social protest song with overtones of first album-Clash. I like the cover, a dog eating away the guns in the world!


Zombie vs. Shark - Wunderkind - Dogs and Guns


"Zombie vs. Shark play proto-punkish rock n' roll-the kind of stuff that came out of the early/mid-70s with heavy inspiration from late-60s Detroit - "Wunderkind" nods to Sonic Rendezvous Band. It's rock n' roll, nothing more, nothing less. "Dogs and Guns" takes a straighforward High Time-era MC5 approach, rocking the stereo with call and response verse and a catchy, sing-a-long chorus. When it comes down to it, this is just unpretentious - the kind of thing you want to hear in your favorite bar while drinking with friends after a tiring week. So grab a beer."
