Formed in LA, California, USA, in 1968, HMS Bounty highlighted Merrell Fankhauser (guitar, vocals) alongside Costs Dodd (lead guitar), Jack port Jordan (bass) and Larry Meyers (drums). Dodd got previously caused Fankhauser on many tracks released beneath the name Fapardokly. Factors is really a sumptuous exemplory case of western world coast harmony rock and roll, displaying parallels with Nature, Moby Grape as well as the Bobby Fuller Four. Fankhauser’s present for unforgettable hooklines is obvious, his tenor tone of voice is usually haunting and the casual usage of sitar and tablas provides depth to some set abundant with melody and invention. Even though quartet backed Canned Heat as well as the Paul Butterfield Music group, they were struggling to discover consistent live function. Meyers remaining the line-up in 1969 and, after yet another gig, Fankhauser folded the music group.
