Artist description The Dudes thrived in the early 1990's but fell off the face of the earth until recently. Their sound was the sound of punkrock to come. The underground scene has had their hands on all of their EPs for some time now, but CDR copies of remastered versions of their music have begun to bubble up across america. Listen to these guys if you like punk rock. Listen to them if you like breathing.
