The hierarchy in today's music scene has changed dramatically. Over the past decade, most of the once mighty have fallen. Many genres and sub-genres have come in and out of popularity. Never one to care about or follow trends, Pulley has become a prime example of an old fashioned, hard working, sincere punk rock band. Earlier in their career, Pulley was often labeled a "punk rock super group" or a "side project." True, the band was made of several veterans in the So-Cal punk rock scene.
Scott Radinsky of Ten Foot Pole, Jim Cherry and Jordan Burns of Strung Out, and Matt Riddle of Face to Face had all been around the block in their respective bands. But Pulley was no side project. In reality, five friends were fed up with dollar signs and marketing strategies. They longed to make music for the reasons they did back in the garage when they were teenagers. It was all about fun. Pulley came together and became the "everyman" punk rock band. This was not for the mascara wearing, Hot Topic crowd in tight fitting jeans. There was no fashion sense or image here. There was no manager or business model to follow. This was about adventure---getting in a van with your buddies and going out on the road to play for anyone who would listen. All they armed themselves with was honest music and lyrics that anyone could relate to.
