(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

A power-pop/punk band from Orange County, California. 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 ultra-wussy indie sap.

notes

The Put-Ons Debut CD.

Recommended if you like late 70's era American and British Pop 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 CD was written and produced by David Pedroza. The band's discography includes a 7" red vinyl EP on Unity Squad Records and "Cuts" Hostage Records Compilation. Whitney Catastrophe: guitar, David Pedroza: vocals/guitar, Shawn Munoz : bass/vocals, Mike Petrus: drums

"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 4-song vinyl EP, recalls not only the likes of The Nerves and Flashcubes but also 70's poppy punk bruisers like The Undertones and Carpettes. - and the result is a pretty damn cool record. I dig this! If someone would have told me that this was a long-lost demo from 1978, I wouldn't have been shocked. This will make my 2001 Top Ten, for sure."
- Josh Rutledge, Now Wave Magazine

  • wow,this is great

    This is a phenomenal cd. I am a big fan of the buzzcocks and it sounds just like them. I cant wait for a new cd.

  • A must have for fans of retro-punk!
    author: Christina

    Immediately after hearing a few seconds of the first song I was hooked. The music is catchy without giving up its hard edge. It just plain rocks! I just wish I lived closer to Orange County so I culd see them live.

  • Great and so is the drummer!
    author: Andrew Burkhart

    This CD rocks! The whole thing is great and the drumming is awesome!!!!!!

  • This album kicks ass. The Bass player could replace JR on Dallas, he's that cool
    author: Linda Lovelace

    The album definately has traces of late 70's style and gets two major thumbs up. I think that they need to write a little more diversly though. Looking forward to some new tunes soon.

  • She's not that great!!!
    author: Baby Dawll

    She is probably the most boring person to entertain, i've seen The put ons once and she always looks pissed off. all she does is swing back and forth she's not even good at Playing guitar. not to meantion she looks like she rolled out of a trash can. by the way nice fake hair! now the rest of the band You rock! come play Showcase theater. But leave her at home!
