The K-Tels

Band, 1979-1980 CA
Alternative
A.k.a. Young Canadians

Young Canadians (originally The K-Tels) were a Canadian punk rock band formed in Vancouver in 1978 and active for just under two years. The YC's were influenced not only by the other punk bands in town at that time such as D.O.A. and the Pointed Sticks, but also by the Dolls, the Stooges, and 1960s garage rock. Although the band only recorded two EPs and a single before breaking up, their single "Hawaii" is one of the classic Canadian punk anthems.Just before the release of Hawaii, they were forced to changed their name when threatened with legal action by the K-Tel corporation.
