Hunx and his Punx - Gay Singles
You may recognize Hunx from his other band, Gravy Train!!! or maybe if you subscribe to BUTT magazine, you may have seen most of him in there. But Hunx isn't just a pretty face (and other body parts). He has jumped further back in the musical decades and has decided to take the 50's sock hop genre and gay it up. I definitely appreciate someone who can take something from the past, revitalize it, add a twist to it and create something equally as amazing. Especially if it entails taking something that is suppose to be innocent rock and roll and make it hot and homoerotic.
I also think that Hunx has got a niche here since there doesn't seem to be as many bands trying to recreate that 50's rock sound and I for one enjoy listening to it. The big disappointment for me is that Hunx and his Punx have only released singles the last year and their first LP that came out recently, Gay Singles, is only available on vinyl. Is he trying to emulate how music was released back in the day? Even so, for those of us who haven't gone back to the vinyl days, a release of songs digitally or on CD would make it easier to listen to Hunx and his Punx.
Here are a few songs off Gay Singles.
