Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

The Put-Ons Debut CD. Recommended if you like late 70’s-era American and British Punk bands. The Put-Ons, a Power-Pop/Punk band from Orange County California, formed in the summer of 2000. The Put-Ons sound has been compared to The Clash, Buzzcocks, Generation X, The Jam, The Only Ones, and 20/20. The band’s discography includes a 7” red vinyl EP on Unity Squad Records and “Cuts” Hostage Records Compilation. The debut CD was written and produced by David Pedroza.

Product Description

Oozing a raw, hard-edged basement charm and displaying an obvious affinity for mid-to-late 70’s new wave pop, The Put-Ons are a rough & rocking alternative to the ultra-wussy indie sap that usually passes for “power pop” these days. The debut cd, recalls not only the likes of The Nerves and Flashcubes but also 70’s poppy punk bruisers like The Undertones and Carpettes. This southern Californian four-piece strikes a pleasing balance between muscle (lotsa kick-ass guitar wallop and powerhouse drum action dominate the mix) and melody — and the result is a pretty damn cool record. If someone would have said that this was a long-lost demo from 1978, people would not be shocked. This is a 2002 Top Ten, for sure.
