Our Punk Rock Progenitors

The Ramones

"The first song I ever learned to play was one I wrote but the first "real" song was definitely Blitzkrieg Bop, followed shortly by Beat on the Brat, and soon after by Suzy is a Headbanger…Without a doubt the greatest and most influential American band of all time. The ORIGINAL PUNK BAND! All those English bands were influenced by the Ramones. If there never was a Sex Pistols the Ramones would have still been great. If there was no Ramones there would have been no Clash, no Damned, no Sex Pistols. End of discussion."

The Misfits
 

"Forget what Danzig is doing now, find a copy of one of the Misfits Collections and hear singer/songwriter Glenn Danzig at his very best. The Evil Elvis can turn a melody line like no one else. We try to pay tribute to this great band with a couple of our songs. The first songs I ever wrote were equally inspired by the Ramones and the Misfits,and Misfits covers have always been a staple of the band's set."

Social Distortion

"The last great punk band that's still touring. If anybody understands what Rock 'n Roll is all about, it's Mike Ness. The man certainly has a knack for telling it like it is and making you believe he has been there. Mike Ness is easily the Underachievers' collective hero."
