Sounds Like: The Spanks draw from the sincerity of The Modern Lovers, the morose chaos of Johnny Thunders, the raw energy of The Sonics, an appreciation for Chess Records' rhythm and blues artists such as Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Bo Diddley, as well as British reinvention of that music by early incarnations of The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and The Beatles among others. The Spanks' live performances invoke a raw energy that'll make you dance, scream, even faint...the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Come on, GET SPANKED!
