Considering how much rock and roll standards have influenced everything thereafter, there aren’t nearly as many bands who wear their influences as effortlessly as The Nunchucks. From the beginning chords of “Clean Me Out” on their recently released Eat Your Moneys EP, you can hear the bold guitar riffs of classic rock songs like “You’ve Really Got Me”, but there are also very smooth vocals from Ron Soltes that bring to mind more pop-oriented fare. However, there’s a cleverness that’s distinctly their own (listen closely to the lyrics to “Zebra”) and a few jazzy chord progressions not often found within the parameters of rock and roll. We sat down with singer Ron Soltes and bassist Brandon Schnedl to talk about their take on local music, their international influences and remaining together for several years.
