The Huntingtons - Growing Up Is No Fun: The Standards '95-'05 (2005) RESTORED

From the release of their debut album, "Sweet Sixteen" in 1996 through the remainder of their altering cast and 10 year history, one thing has remained consistent for fans of the Ramones inspired Huntingtons: Fun. Packing releases and live shows with 2,5 minute pop-punk ditties about relationships, class geek-dom and just growing up, The Huntingtons have prided themselves on holding their simplistic approach at the helm of their rock style. Now, in celebration of their 10 year history and final tour, Tooth & Nail presents 30 Huntingtons classics along with unreleased tracks to form, "Growing Up Is No Fun". It’s a guaranteed good time!

When I decided to create website for the Ramones in 1999, Joey thought it would be cool to organize a show to involve their fans. It would be a contest and the winning band would get to play with Joey himself on vocals. We had already selected enough bands when we were told about a band who was "a must" for the show. Their name was the Huntingtons - a great example of Ramones style.
