Our Influences
This page is intended to be interactive and
responsive to the needs and demands of the bands and all of Sizzler Nation.

As such, we welcome your submissions of pictures and text for consideration on this page.

We intend to include ideas, language, and images that help us to discover our muse, that
help us discover things about ourselves, and that help us to discover things about the
essential nature of being human.
Years ago I had the experience of sitting
around in a living room with a bunch of
people and singing and playing. And it was
like a spiritual experience. It was
wonderful. I decided then that was what I
wanted to do with my life was to play
music, do music. In the making of records
I think over the years we've all gotten a
little too technical, a little too hung up on
getting things perfect. And we've lost the
living room. The living room has gone out
of the music.

What is needed is the realization that power
without love is reckless and abusive, and love
without power is sentimental and anemic  Power
at its best is love implementing the demands of
justice, and justice at its best is power
correcting everything that stands against love.
