A review from Whatzup Magazine
I should have guessed that this album was recorded by Tim Bushong of T.Bush Record Plant, the local master of capturing a band's combustible energy. The guitar sounds are deadly and everything is amazingly well recorded and mixed… my hat, and toupee, are off to Mr. Bushong. These 45 minutes of screaming, energetic, melodic punk can be found at Karma Records, Wooden Nickel Music Stores, and Sam Goody.

Interview with London Calling in HM magazine
Q. How did Tim Bushong become producer and what else were his roles in this project?
He's our friend from "back in the day". Tim is a very talented man! He makes recordings of bands that sound big budget..but are very cost effective. It's not about the gear with Tim necessarily..it's about knowledge and personal attention to what he records...I cannot recommend Tim enough, especially to the young bands who wanna make music but aren't loaded with cash! He is a great man of God as well. I value his input and friendship.

Whatzup - Downbreed Review
As with their past work, Downbreed chose to work with Tim Bushong, who, in my book, is the man for hard rock and metal bands. Under his attentive ears, this dynamic, well-crafted collection of crushing songs are indiscernible from anything produced by a California studio. This is not to discount the band because not only are the songs surprisingly melodic and listenable (even for a semi-geezer like me) but each musician has an amazing degree of expertise, able to coax more than just the typical metal grinding from their instruments.

JesusFreakHideout.com Review of Mick Rowe's Summertime
The themes on Summertime range from praise and worship ("Please Save Me", "Control") to love and relationships ("Be With You", "Long Red Hair"), keeping it fresh and varied. The production is quality, co-produced by Rowe himself and former Lovewar / Channel Surfers member Tim Bushong. "Illuminate" is one of the strongest cuts on the record, with Mick pushing the range of his vocals in a way that would surely make his little brother proud. While Mick has tried his hand at metal and even gothic rock in the past, this classic modern rock approach works nicely.

Whatzup - Endangered Species by The Migraines
This is paired with the pop flavorings of classic punk and modern production (compliments of T Bush Studios) to make an album with the crushing energy of a runaway semi full of canned meat.

Whatzup - For Reasons Unknown by Sirface
Seething with thick guitars and soaring melodies, For Reasons Unknown will surely satiate your appetite for nu-metal. You can tell the band took their time with this project, wisely venturing into the studios of Tim Bushong who seems to specialize and excel in producing heavier rock. As you might expect from T-Bush Record Plant, the recording and production quality easily stands among major label releases of this genre. Enjoy this energetic, invigorating release and feel free to rip, fold, spindle and mutilate. http://www.whatzup.com/Music/cd100903a.html
Whatzup Review of Summertime Blues Band's Picture Perfect
Finding greater comfort in the studio of T. Bush Record Plant, the band spreads its wings by trying out a few new sounds with additional instruments and styles. This is immediately evident in the title track where organs (Larry DeVincent), sax (Andy Kopis) and rich vocal harmonies in the chorus enhance the tight blues sound. With three lead vocalists in the band there is an amazing variety of styles to please the ear. In addition, guitarist Bill Kolter and bassist Ted Carter trade instruments, as they do on "Walkin' The Dog", adding yet another level of depth to their sound with Carter laying down one of many scorching guitar solos found on this offering. http://www.whatzup.com/Music/cd112703c.html
