A punk-rock power-pop version of a Jan and Dean (Brian Wilson) classic! This one was a blast to record, mostly off the floor in single takes with some electric drums to piss off the punk purists in addition to fans of the original

Surf City

The song that defined the sound of this project, doo-wop core takes the classic 50s rock progression with an emotive melancholic melody and some pop-punk guitars to offer a up the original sub-genre of a sub-genre. This number is a diss track to a well-known local rock/blues musician for his pompous attitude..... sorry homie

Doo-Wop Core

A seminal Christmas classic, this masterpiece that defines a generation apologizes on behalf of the band for slighting rappers earlier in 2021.... but seriously though we are not sorry other than during the holidays. We will be back at it later this year.

I'm Sorry (Cuz It's Xmas)

A relic of sorts, consisting of a fluid roster of seasoned musical veterans from Canada’s great white bilingual Mecca, The Pivot Tones take 90s pop-punk batter and dowse it with 1950s doo-wop, topping it off with a heavy handed sprinkle of golden era hip-hop. The resulting product, a unique sun-genre of punk dubbed as Doo-Wop Core is a must have for all genre fluid individuals with a penchant for melody and light hearted subject matter.
