The Huntingtons GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
Huntingtons are a punk band from Baltimore, Maryland which formed in 1994 in the Maryland and Delaware area by Cliff Powell (a.k.a. Cliffy Huntington), Mike Holt (a.k.a. Mikey Huntington) and Mike Pierce (a.k.a. Mikee Huntington). The band is heavily influenced by the Ramones and has extensively toured with numerous ramonescore bands.
Background
Huntingtons debut album, Sweet Sixteen, was released in 1996 by Flying Tart Records. The cover for the album was lifted from The Naturals cover of the same name. A few months later, their first attempt at recording Ramones covers, entitled Rocket to Ramonia saw limited release via the Burnt Toast Vinyl label. Second guitarist, Tom Rehbein (later in Small Towns Burn a Little Slower)joined the band, and after working with producer Mass Giorgini for the band's next album, Fun and Games, Tom was replaced by Brad Ber. In 1998, the band signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released High School Rock.
After touring for the High School Rock release, the band dialed in their ramonescore sound and released five albums in a one-year period. Live: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, File Under Ramones and Get Lost all made it into stores before 1999 was over. The band also played the first of what would become two shows as Joey Ramone's backing band at CBGB's in NYC. Plastic Surgery and Split were both released to stores in January 2000. The band went through multiple lineup at this until settling with Josh Blackway (a.k.a. Jonny Huntington) on second guitar and Josh Zimmer (a.k.a. Danny No. 2) on drums.
In early 2001, Rock 'N' Roll Habits for the New Wave, a collection of newly recorded versions of selected songs from the band's pre-Tooth & Nail era, was released. Upon completion of this record, Josh Zimmer left the band and original drummer, Mikee, came back to help the band with their next record, Songs in the Key of You, which was released in mid-2001.
In 2003 they released their final full-length album of original material
Self-Titled Album, as well as a split EP, The Soothing Sounds of...
The band ended their original 10-year run in 2005 with a 30-song best-of disc, Growing Up Is No Fun: The Standards '95-'05, and played their final show at the Cornerstone Festival.
In 2007, the band reunited for a show in Elkton, Maryland and decided to continue the band on a part-time status. In 2009, the band released Punk Sounds, which included b-sides, rarities and two new tracks. Official remasters of several of their albums have also been released. Limited edition vinyl pressings of Sweet Sixteen and Fun and Games were released in mid-2011. A complete collection of the band's demos was released in early 2015 as Prime Times: The Tascam Tapes.
Since 2015, the band has been playing with the lineup of Mike Holt, Jonathan Cliff Walker, Josh Blackway and drummer Chris Eller. Blackway and Eller also tour with C. J. Ramone of the Ramones.
In 2020, the band released ¡Muerto, Cárcel O Rocanrol!, their first full length album of original songs since 2003's Self-Titled Album. In 2021, the band returned with Back To Ramonia, a complete re-recording of their 1996 Ramones cover album, Rocket To Ramonia. 2022 saw the release of a full-length split album called Rock 'N' Roll Universal International Problem featuring four songs each by the Huntingtons and The Travoltas. 2023 brought a new live album recorded at the previous year Punk Raduno Festival in Bergamo Italy, entitled, Live At Punk Rock Raduno 5.
