The last we heard from queer-friendly bubblegum punk group Hunx and His Punx, they had signed with Seattle-based imprint Hardly Art and were preparing their debut album. Now, they've revealed that the record is called Too Young To Be in Love and have set a date for its release.
According to a press release, the ten-track album was recorded in New York City with Ivan Julian, best known as a founding member of Richard Hell and the Voidoids. It marks the first time that frontman Seth "Hunx" Bogart is performing with a full, all-girl backing band, including Shannon and the Clams frontwoman Shannon Shaw, who wrote three of the album's songs.
In summation, a press release explains that "Hunx and His Punx might be the first ever 'girl group' fronted by a flamboyant gay male whose dream in life is to sound like a girl. They have created a unique new sound they refer to as 'Young Oldies,' a mixture of '50s teenage rock'n'roll, '60s girl groups and bubblegum pop."
Hardly Art will release Too Young to be in Love on March 29.
