A year later and only a few names have changed in the Plow realm - the drummer and the title of the Whammy they won. With Wyant (vocals and guitar), Eric Bair (guitar and vocals), Dan Middleton (bass and vocals) and Jeff Skiver (drums), Plow have hit the ground running and show no signs of slowing down. "It’s so cool we got recognized for something," Wyant said of the win. "We put so much time into this. It’s really that we got nominated for Performer of the Year." Just being nominated for Whammy flips Wyant’s switch. "It means a great deal, because it's something that shows you actually get acknowledged by people that listen to and appreciate live music and a good rock show," he said. "That's important to us, because we put a lot of work into it." The work includes not only the chores of writing songs and rehearsing and recording them, but the obvious work they put out on stage. Plow are anything but laid-back on stage. Dressed in matching T-shirts with the Plow logo emblazoned across the front, Plow delivered a hyper-charged set at the Whammy Awards that had their many fans jumping up and down and shouting out the lyrics at top volume. Formed two years out of the dust of earlier bands like Little Green Men, Spork and Tested on Animals, Plow have one main goal, according to Wyant: "To make sure everybody gets their face mowed off after they leave a Plow show." That’s sounds painful, but, hey, that’s rock n’ roll. |

Shane Wyant is a man of action. Take his
band, Plow, winner of the Metal/Hard Rock Whammy.
They won Best New Performer last year, ripped off
a raucous set and got right back to work at
Digitrax Studio, home-base for the foursome.
