Known for his strong lead vocals and versatile harmony singing, he is also an innovative guitarist (acoustic and electric). His style is diverse mixture of British 60's power pop, American folk rock, and modern guitar pop, played mostly with an explosive energy and sensibility. As a songwriter - he has proven again and again he can write melodies and hooks with the best of them and his penned numerous original songs (108 recorded to date).

Most recently, Phil and the Idea have released the new 15 song album "Flower Bomb",(on Jam Records -great power-pop label he has just signed on to) that is right now getting not only college radio play but has been on WXRT radio, both on Richard Milne's Local Anesthetic and the day time slot "Time Capsule".

Guns And Ammunition (Clash Tribute)

Guns and Ammunition is a Chicago five man Clash cover band bringing the fire and fury of the Only Band That Matters to the 21st century.

Punk, ska, rockabilly, and high energy rock ‘n roll, the timeless music of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones gains new life, played the way it was meant to played: loud, loose, and late!

Guitarists Tim Burns and Johnny 'Larock' Simpson, drummer Dan Quinn, and bassist Dave Martin have been playing together in various Chicago-based bands for years, and new singer Shaun Ingram brings high energy to the gang.

From the primal chords of 1977’s Clash City Rockers, to all the anthems -- from classic London Calling (Rolling Stone magazine's #1 album of the 1980s) to the haunting dub of Straight to Hell, from Combat Rock in 1982 to the sounds of the late great Joe Strummer and his Mescaleros -- prepare for a long, faithful, and chronological journey through the catalog of one of the greatest rock bands ever!
