It was the decisive battle because afterwards the Japanese abandoned their attempts to re-take Guadalcanal. One of the later sea battles was called the First Battle of Guadalcanal (aka Third Battle of Savo Island, Battle of the Solomons, or Battle of Friday the 13 th} which took place on November 13, 1942. Between August and December 1942 there were seven large naval engagements in the effort to re-supply American troops on Guadalcanal and prevent the Japanese from re-taking the island. As part of the campaign to take the island of Guadalcanal, they had already suffered what is considered the worst defeat in the history of the U.S.

Navy had been decimated by the attack on Pearl Harbor, and in 1942 it was still learning how to fight the mightiest navy in the world, the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Juneau was a young sailor from the Clarkson community – Frank A. What does all this have to do with Clarkson, Nebraska you ask? One of the Sullivan brothers’ shipmates on the doomed U.S.S. When uniformed men arrived in Waterloo to inform the parents, their father asked “Which one?” “I’m sorry,” the officer replied. The parents were greatly distressed because their sons’ letters stopped coming and rumors started circulating through the grapevine about the loss. Because of wartime secrecy, their parents were not informed of the sinking of the Juneau and the deaths of their sons for more than 2 months. Following a fierce, nighttime naval battle their ship was sunk and all five Sullivan brothers were lost. Juneau, and in late 1942 sailed to the Solomon Islands to support the invasion of Guadalcanal. The five brothers were assigned to a new, light cruiser, the U.S.S. Although the Navy had a policy of separating siblings, it was not strictly enforced. Plow, Mr.The story, in brief, is this: In a burst of patriotism following the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, five young men from Waterloo, Iowa enlisted in the Navy with the stipulation that they would be allowed to serve together. Tags: Houston, Maintain Radio Silence, Mr. The pic is from our recent gig at Rudz with Ape Machine, Pyreship, and The Dirty Seeds. I’ve never been more excited about the music we’re creating. We’re also in the process of getting our first three albums on iTunes and Spotify and other streaming services. We’re talking about releasing this on vinyl as a double album. We’ve all been recording demos of ideas and sharing them back and forth, building the songs up before we even get together to work on them as a unit. The new songs are clearly Plow songs but are also a clear evolution in our sound: shorter, punchier, and maybe heavier than anything we’ve done before. Cory’s energy and musical inventiveness have given us renewed life and drive to rock. It will be the first album with Cory on drums. The title of the new album will be Maintain Radio Silence. We’ve got studio time on the calendar for the last two weeks in September at Lucky Run studios in Houston, where our bandmate, Cory Cousins, recorded with his other band, Blues Funeral. We’ve now written 14(!) new tunes, and have been regularly playing more than half of them live. We then went into a long hiatus while I (Greg) moved to Florida for three years. Our last album, Asteroid 25399, was released in 2006. Well, folks, it’s been a long time since we’ve recorded. They posted the following on their website: Seems to me more likely it’ll be out in 2018 than 2017, but it’s one to watch for nonetheless, as these guys were always underrated as songwriters and after more than a decade, I’m intrigued to hear the glut of material they’ve apparently come up with and how it’s evolved from where they ended their initial run, which was some of their best work. Plow have announced they’re back and will hit the studio this September to record a new album, to be titled Maintain Radio Silence. Last time I wrote about them in more than an off-hand referential way was in 2009, so yeah, it’s been a minute, but Mr. Just a group of dudes having a good time playing cool tunes. Aside from the quality of their songwriting across their three records, 2000’s Head On, 2003’s Cock Fights and Pony Racin’ and 2006’s Kurt Vonnegut-themed Asteroid 25399, the charm of their references to Carlo Rossi, The Big Lebowski, and of course The Simpsons - among many others - went a long way in presenting a down-to-earth attitude that made it that much easier to relate to where they were coming from. I always liked the Houston-based post- Fu Manchu heavy rockers, from whose lineup the likes of Sanctus Bellum and Blues Funeral at least in part sprang.
