Post Description

Hailing from The Netherlands, The Travoltas were a poppunk band, combining the energy and power of punkrock with the melodies and harmonies of classic popbands like the Beach Boys and the Byrds. The band is often reffered to as "the Beach Boys of Punk Rock" or "a cross between the Ramones, the Beach Boys and Weezer". Their trademark sound is in fact a combination of afore mentioned bands and 80"s powerpop (the Cars, Blondie) adding influences ranging from surf music to new wave. But the Travoltas sound more than straight Beach Boys with distorted guitars, and throw a little Weezer in for good measure... In result is something so unique and catchy, you can"t help but love it. Make no mistake, though, despite the killer vocal harmonies and keyboard work, these guys know how to Rock! In 2002, Nice Guy Records released a brand new CD for the Travoltas called "Step on the Gas and Don"t Look Back". It features 12 previously unreleased in the USA songs, plus two music videos.
