Album Notes:

Fun and Games is a charged and energetic collection of punk-pop nuggets held together by a common theme: Christianity. It isn’t preachy, but instead it takes the unique viewpoint of a Christian punk, looking at typical punk rock themes through the eyes of someone with a faith in Jesus. Which means that instead of beating on the brat, they simply show disdain toward her (“She’s a Brat”). Their approach is pure Ramones, pumping out three-chord anthems with a vengeance and essentially writing the Christian alternative to Rocket to Russia. And this is fine, because they have the talent to write some memorable hooks and the good sense to take a naïve, wide-eyed approach to their subject matter. Without being overbearing, the Huntingtons wrote a winner with the aptly titled Fun and Games. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

 

Having grown up in Baltimore, Maryland, Mikey (bass/vocals) and Cliffy (guitar) Huntington found out that they had something else in common aside from their identical last names: the Ramones and the Good Book. With those inspirations, the Huntingtons started out under a different moniker playing a brand of what they considered “bad garage rock” for the next three years to come. Upon recording two EPs in 1996 entitled Sweet Sixteen and Rock ‘N’ Roll Radio -- which weren’t released until 1998 -- and their first full-length Fun and Games in 1997. The Huntingtons moved on to more of a poppier sound with The Only One EP released that same year. After a US tour with Blaster the Rocketman and another seven-inch entitled “You’re Not Right” b/w “Babysitter”, the Huntingtons line-up was eventually settled in with C.J (guitar) and Davey (drums) continuing on with the band’s luck of finding members with the same last names. A deal with Tooth and Nail Records followed, resulting in the release of their first straight pop-punk full-length High School Rock in 1998. Followed by the live The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and a Ramones cover album entitled File Under Ramones all released within the same year, 1999 saw two more Huntingtons albums, Get Lost and Plastic Surgery. A split release with Darlington followed in early 2000. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
