The Strap-Ons at Bubba's
The Strap-Ons are a snot-voiced wildly thrashing pure punk rock 'n' roll band. Formed in late 1996 as The Pimps in Norfolk VA, they took the name The Strap-Ons from one of their favorite movies of all time, "Strap On Sally" They have a well earned reputation for good lyrics, catchy riffs, and a great sound, never letting up on their brand of over the top punk.
The Band toured the US in the summer of 2003, doing many shows with original Misfits member Joey Image, and released a live album of their show in San Francisco, to boot. The Strap-Ons continue to do many East Coast appearances including CBGB's, The Continental, and Manitobas in New York City

Below Are Various Reviews About The Band
FLIPSIDE:
PIMPS "Wicca Chicka" EP Four Songs, garagey/'77 non-difficult punk from VA Beach, I don't really understand the lyrics ("Cruisin for Creation a can of beer," "Nose Pain won't you let me down") but the musical parts sure are catchy. It's got a big hole, if that matters. -Cuss Baxter (Rapid Pulse PO Box 5075, Milford. CT 06460). Issue #121, Summer 2000.
NINEVOLT:
Norfolk based PIMPS complete with new bass player, Gordie, have recieved national exposure with their latest musical effort Comparisions have been made to early punk and garage rock. See for yourself as the band will be playing with The Goons and The Stations at Sunset Grille in Va.Beach.
COGANS:
How one band can possibly play that drunk is beyond me. They packed the house.
SOSYNC.COM ON-LINE MAGAZINE:
The Strap-Ons are a punk quintet from Virginia that take the punk music movement off of the MTV and give it back to the old school. No cheeky Blink 182 stuff here, folks, just some catchy 3 chord ditties chock full of stereotypes ("Nose Pain,") generalizations and derogatory, defammatory commentaries ("Drugs Sex Violence.") Ah, the way punk was made to be. Contact these guys!
NOIZE JUNKIE, FROM NFTG MAGAZINE:
YESSSS! These VA cats've got that rockin' punk 'n' roll style down pat! Four real short blasts of high-screechin', rock 'n' roll venom that proves that real punk is still out there and ready to strike at any moment. This is one explosive record!(Rapid Pulse, PO Box 5075, Milford, CT 06460)
MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL:
PIMPS - " Wicca Chicka" EP
This record makes me want to become a punk rock-preying serial killer. Nov. 1999, Issue #198.
DEAD ON THE WEB:
THE STRAP-ONS - " Geeking Dream" CD
This band is great! The Strap-Ons keep the essence of bands like Iggy and the Stooges, New York Dolls, and The Dead Boys alive today. '77rock is what they are all about. The singer reminds me a lot of Duane from The US Bombs and the Hunns with a twist of Iggy. Very cool! Ah, the way punk was made to be!

KERRANG! MAGAZINE:
THE STRAP-ONS - " Geeking Dream" CD
25 songs in 40 minutes and, on first listen---titles like 'Drugs Sex Violence' and 'My Dad Smokes Crack' give a clue as to the level we're working at here and the music is based on refried Ramones and Dead Boys riffs and a singer who sounds exactly like Handsome Dick Manitoba, the ex-frontman of one-time New York scuzzballs The Dictators. It's simple, basic stuff but theres a raw catchiness in operation. There's also something appealing about a band that's NOT afraid to play sub-Johnny Thunders solos in 2001, just don't expect to see them on MTV back to back with Blink 182 ----Paul Travers
BIG FUCKING SKULL MAGAZINE:
THE STRAP-ONS - " Geeking Dream" CD
This Record rocks hard, and vocalist is killer, like the lyrics, me and my bro were in fits over Weddy Beddy, Chucky Got Lucky, & Nose Pain. Great sound, real original, and as an added bonus the guitarist is a beauty! --- Crotch
