Hailing from The Netherlands (pint-size Dongen), Travoltas were a pop-punk band, combining the energy and power of punk-rock with the melodies and harmonies of classic pop bands like the Beach Boys and the Byrds. The band was often referred to as 'the beach boys of punk-rock' or 'a cross between the Ramones and the Beach Boys'. Their trademark sound was in fact a combination of above mentioned bands and 80's power-pop (the Cars, Blondie) adding influences ranging from surf music to new wave.
