Plugz, The
Better Luck
Pioneering Latino punk band The Plugz formed in Los Angeles in 1977 with frontman Tito Larriva, drummer Chalo Quintana
and bassist Barry McBride. After debut album Electrify Me, sophomore set Better Luck saw McBride replaced by John Curry
of The Flyboys; now with better mastery of their instruments, Larriva and Chalo steered the sound into new wave
stylings, aided and abetted by guest horns, harmonica, and keyboards. Yet, the band was still a critical force pushing
against societal inequalities, as heard on the caustic "American," and El Clavo Y La Cruz" reminded that the core of
the group was 100% Latino. A great LP!
