Influences?? We don't need no stinkin' influences!
However, we have been known to raise a pint of Smithwick's in reverence to the patron saint of The Howlin' Thurstons: Link Wray.

The Ventures as covered by The Ramones played on an old Wurlitzer with the volume set to eleven in a scene in a Tarantino film.
The Howlin Thurstons is a guitar heavy instrumental garage/surf band with a sound described as Link Wray meets Henry Mancinifor a knife fight. Since 1999, we have been performing our unique brand of rock & roll at various venues around the New York Metro Area such as Southpaw and Lakeside Lounge.
Reviewers have called our unique arrangements of instrumental rock standards like The Ventures' Diamondhead, and The Mar-kets' Out of Limits "dangerously modern". These covers coupled with the guitar-driven mayhem of original compositions such as Knucklewalk and Road Rage have won The Howlin' Thurstons a growing acclaim among radio DJs from as far away as Australia, Canada, Scotland, and Brazil. Here in the U.S. our EP has found its way into the regular rotation of such radio shows as Teenage Wasteland, with Bill Kelly, WFMU 91.1 in Jersey City; Phil's Garage: Surfs Up! with Phil Dirt, KFJC 89.7 FM in Los Altos Hills, CA; and A Day at the Beach with Clint Beachwood, KCR 1620 AM in San Diego, CA.
