"Riding into our hearts on a tire-squealing wave of hype, Delray Beach's unisex septet cooks up some righteous riot-grrl rap-n-roll...reminiscent of Kathleen Hanna coupled with the power-chord punch of the Breeders. Simply put, they are the bastard children of the Ramones and the Lunachicks mixed with some Beastie Boys semen. PBD leaves little doubt as to the Pank's tenacity or energy level. File under Spunky!" -- CLOSERmagazine

PANK SHOVEL'S music is as unique as its members. Their sound is a Punk Rock/ Hip-Hop hybrid that crosses boundaries and challenges the genre's traditional misogynistic stereotypes. Their songs strong lyrical content describes real life experiences with childlike imagination. The band has cultivated a strong following in S. Florida playing the club circuit and getting regular airplay on 94.9 ZETA and Radio X (NSU). They are currently moving to New York and promoting their new full length CD "Strawbaby Chop Chop", available on TheHoneycomb.com label.

Remember the Ocean
Remember the Ocean

In 1996, Earl Coralluzzo (guitars) and Kristin Larkin (voices) began creating music together. Their songs were simple yet provocative. During the summer of 2000, Thom Hammond joined in with the bass guitar, adding needed warmth to the mix. Calling themselves Remember the Ocean, the trio produced a four-song recording that was originally intended to be passed among close friends and family. The outcome, however, was much different; the feedback was strong and encouraging.

"The instruments range from congos and organs to acoustic guitar and violin to tambourines. There is a big emphasis on vocals, most likely because this woman has got a great voice! This is a well-produced and mixed solid album that provides enjoyment, a memorable voice, and songs that you will catch yourself singing hours later, plus intelligent lyrics and creative arrangements." -Jessika (Delusions of Adequacy)



Tomorrow After Dark- Remember the Ocean - THC 008
December 14, 2003

"...are you tired of being offended by crass lyrics, misogynistic, phallocentric stage shows, and bombarded with the generally lazy songwriting that seems to saturate the scene? Well, RTO is one of those bands that won't offend anyone, ever , it just can't... "Tomorrow After Dark" combines lush guitar strumming, pedal steel, and tight percussion with warm breathy vocals for a picturesque experience akin to driving through Connecticut in October..."

Ruth - Remember the Ocean - THC 006
August 17, 2001

Remember the Ocean's "Ruth" named best recording -New Times Best of Broward/Palm Beach
"The ochre corridors and smooth wood floors of Ruth, the band's debut, sprawl out like a grandmother's house with a warm scent of home-cooking and a hint of 10,000 Maniacs or the Innocence Mission. Remember the Ocean has clearly come a long way."
Recent shows with Lisa Loeb, Melissa Ferrick, Tracey Shedd, and Laura Minor.

"If you're one of those who wishes Merchant had never left her Maniacs, and have been searching in vain for something to fill the void that was left after her departure -- and, like me, haven't swallowed her solo career too easily, Remember The Ocean could very well be your new favorite band." -Amy Leach (Splendidezine.com)

No. 1 Car - Pank Shovel - THC 004
June 16, 2001

"... the album functions as mission statement, manifesto, and infomercial as well as a concise punk-rock ruckus that grows more enjoyable with each listen. The pared-down, tractor-pull punk of "Superhero" puts forth a straightedge sentiment, while the stutter-stop ballad "Evolution" is all philosophical eloquence, a call to arms for listeners of all genders and sexual orientations. The angle of attack is certainly lesbian-friendly, but the group doesn't suck up to the gay-rights agenda for propriety's sake. Pank Shovel's thought-provoking stew invokes the arch militancy of Consolidated without the stridently pro-choice, meatfree political correctness." - Jeff Stratton (New Times)
