Hunx And His Punx- Too Young To Be in Love



If filmmaker John Waters wrote his own music for his movies it would sound something like Hunx and his Punx's Too Young To Be In Love. This is Hunx and his Punx's first real full length album and it's a blast to listen to. Bubblegum pop mixed with ‘60s diner music is the best way to describe the sound of Too Young To Be In Love. The all girl “Punkettes” that back Seth Bogart are talented musicians and have complimenting backup vocals. I think Seth Bogart in some ways is kind of a genius. He takes trashy sounding music and makes it into pop. You just can’t help but sing along even when Bogart sings about obscene and over the top things. That’s the charm of Hunx and his Punx: it’s the classiest trashy music you can find. So if you have been watching movies like Pink Flamingos or Female Trouble and want to cruise around feeling like you are in that Baltimore scene then Too Young To Be In Love is the album for you. I know I adore it and everyone needs to give it a chance.




Final Review- 95
