History[edit]

The band's style and influences have been revealed by reviews and music press. Kerrang! magazine likened their sound to the Ramones, Dead Boys, and Johnny Thunders and also compared the vocals to Dick Manitoba.[3]
As in the Kerrang reviews, Maximumrocknroll magazine described the character of the band, and reviewed and interviewed The Strap-Ons quite extensively. In issue 243 of the magazine, the band was described as "snot punk" with "great vocal style…and great lyrics".[4] In issue 213, they said: "These Virginian delinquents are full of juvenile, obnoxious ideas and dirty".[5] In another review, the magazine said, "very snotty, very cool, and the song "Strap on Sally" is a must hear."[6]
