What the press is saying about Bushwhack
Progressive rock has been brilliantly incarnated into this band, assuring me that I will have fresh music to entertain me for a long time.
They ooze talent, have mastered their instruments, and have old souls when it comes to writing brilliant tunes.

The instrumental prog-metal band, Bushwhack, has been blessed with many things. They got wonderful production out of Jeff Cannata on their self-titled debut CD; had legendary music photographer, Mark Weiss, take all their band shots; had well-known hard rock artist Ioannis design their CD and website; and writer Martin Popoff set up their official bio. But most of all, the band — Jamie van Dyck - guitars; Frank Sacramone - keyboards; Brandon Green - bass; Ben Shanbrom - drums —has been blessed with youthful talent. The whole debut presentation looks and sounds like a major label release. It is that mature and professional. In fact, on stage the band sounds just as mature and professional. Bushwhack is at an exciting embryonic stage. The future, it seems, can be very promising.

Fecund, intense creativity in flux. The roar of majesty and power on one hand, a certain whispered exquisite subtlety on the other. That's an apt starting point to describe this unique band of ardent young musicologists, from Bushwhack's high concepts and flights o' fancy within the grooves, right through to the promising personal lives housed within the flesh and blood of the music's makers.
Martin Popoff - BWBK
“I learnt about this cool new progressive rock band called Bushwhack … I’d just finished interviewing The Ocean and Three so it seemed a perfect coincidence that I should meet and chat with Bushwhack keyboardist Frank Sacramone. In him I found an introspective and thoughtful 19 year old with a profound appreciation for music and progressive rock. If their harrowing and mind altering self-titled debut epic is any indication of what they can do at age 19, this is a band to watch out for in 2008.”
