Too Young To Be In Love

Too Young To Be In Love is the first fully-realized Hunx and His Punx album, recorded in New York City by Ivan Julian - one of the founding members of inimitable NYC punk legends Richard Hell and the Voidoids. While it is preceded by Gay Singles, 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. It also marks the first time the group has ever been comprised entirely by "punkettes" – the all girl band that band leader Seth Bogart (aka Hunx) always dreamed of.

The powerful voice of Shannon Shaw – bass player and sometimes singer - crackles and breaks with a raw ferocity that perfectly compliments Hunx's swoon-worthy nasal croon. This album also represents a distinct reversal of roles—the all-girl quartet (Shaw, plus guitarist Michelle Santamaria, drummer Erin Emslie, and Amy Blaustein on guitar/organ) bring the fire, while Hunx brings the softness. All of the ladies sing on this album, and their voices combine to create some modern Wall of Sound magic. 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.

Too Young To Be In Love is all about love and heartbreak. People tend to have scandalous ideas about Seth "Hunx" Bogart - but behind all of this is a sweet and somewhat innocent entertainer who knows how to put on a show.
