THE PLUGZCHARLIE QUINTANA, TITO LARRIVA, BARRY McBRIDE
The Plugz were arguably the first Chicano punk band.
Considered by just about everyone to be the first Latino punk bank, the Plugz came
together in 1978 in Southern California. Part of the family of bands that was influenced
by the Germs and played at legendary clubs like Madame Wong's and the Masque,
the Plugz were led by vocalist Tito Larriva and formed their own label, Fatima, in 1979.
Their debut, Electrify Me (1979), which featured a ripping version of the classic
"La Bamba", and the follow-up, 1981's Better Luck, were well received, and tracks
from the latter would eventually find their way onto the soundtrack to the cult classic film Repo Man
"ELECTRIFY ME"

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
While the seminal 1979 debut from the Plugz is usually characterized as a punk record,
the L.A. band actually strives to embrace the scope of rock & roll on Electrify Me.
Built on a sound which spikes a strong pop sensibiity with punk fury, singer
Tito Larriva and his band draw on their Hispanic heritage for an anthemic cover
of "La Bamba" while exploring reggae on the title cut;
there are even some folky touches here as well...(AllMusic)
