Who knows – some legitimate success might fall into their lap in the near future.»

hunx and his punx released a single a while back called 'you don't like rock 'n' roll,' a suitably catty kiss-off to fans of bands like u2 and coldplay. hunx, however, likes rock 'n roll a great deal - specifically, the girl group pop of the '50s, a sound that also provided plenty of inspiration to the ramones. 'too young to be in love' is the first fully-realized hunx and his punx album, and the group's first for hardly art. it was recorded in new york city by ivan julian - one of the founding members of inimitable nyc punk legends richard hell and the voidoids. this record was made in the same studio that one of hunx's idols, ronnie spector, once recorded in. while it is preceded by 'the gay singles' lp (true panther sounds / matador records, 2009), a collection of hard-to-find and out-of-print 7" singles, 'too young to be in love' is the first proper studio record from hunx and his punx.
