Background notes

Archive material and source history

Ten Foot Pole formed in the late 1980s in California with Dennis Jagard on vocals, Steve Soto on guitar, Glen Mancaruso on bass, and Omar Martinez on drums. They put out their first album, 'Release the Flies,' in 1989, followed by 'Suburban Blight' the next year. The band's sound was straightforward punk with sharp lyrics, and songs like 'A.d.d' and 'What You Want' became staples for fans.

Their lineup shifted over time, with Jagard as the consistent member. Mike Watt played bass on the 1992 album 'Rev,' and Chuck Platt joined on guitar for 'Unleashed' in 1993. They kept releasing records through the mid-90s, including 'Above the Law' in 1995, while dealing with personal struggles that led to some hiatuses.

Ten Foot Pole's music, with tracks like 'Another Half Apology' and 'Broken Bubble,' connected with listeners who appreciated its direct energy and social commentary. They didn't chase trends, sticking to a sound that felt genuine to the punk scene they came from.
