We are the The Spines, a punk rock music band from New York City, not to be confused with the band from Long Island. We came first. We are a power trio starring Tony the autoharp player, Bunny the bass basher, and Rich on traps. We sound punk (70's CBs) with some Stones and Dregs thrown in. We are the only punk autoharp band ever in the history of the world. We're local and cheap. Join us sometime for music, deafness, booze, and good times. We are not alternative to anything.
Hey! Thanks for the add & for your kind words! As for me, your music is closer to post-punk (like The Fall, Talking Heads etc.)minimalistic & great! And voice reminded David Thomas! *) So, thanks a lot for the friendship! Good Luck!
