The Huntingtons, from Maryland, have been around for over three decades now but perhaps a little bit of history is needed as they have never really broken through to the mainstream. My first listen to them would have come back around 1997 with their \u2018Fun and Games\u2019 album. At that point, the main influence would have been the likes of the Queers or Screeching Weasel. One of the songs that grabbed me was a cover of the Ritchie Valens hit \u2018Come On, Let\u2019s Go\u2019 which kept me coming back to the album and songs like \u2018Alison\u2019s the Bomb\u2019 and \u2018Losing Penny\u2019 became band staples. The band would then quickly morph into a heavily influenced Ramones style band that has stayed with them over the years. In that time, they have released Ramones cover albums and numerous studio albums that have ranged from good to excellent. The band signed with Tooth and Nail Records early in their career, which unfortunately isolated them a bit from the mainstream, because the label was associated mostly with Christian bands. There has never been any gospel flavor to the band though, and they will say they are not a Christian band. Tooth and Nail did have a sizable reach for an independent label and worked with the band for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
