1) The Huntingtons were a pop-punk band from Baltimore, Maryland.
They formed in 1993-1994 in the Maryland/Delaware area by Cliff Powell (aka Cliffy Huntington), Mike Holt (aka Mikey Huntington) and Mike Pierce (aka Mikee Huntington).
In 1996, their debut Sweet Sixteen was released by Flying Tart Records. A few months later, their first attempt at recording Ramones covers, entitled Rocket To Ramonia saw limited release via the Burnt Toast Vinyl label. At this point the band added a second guitarist, Tom Rehbein (currently of Small Towns Burn A Little Slower). After working with producer Mass Giorgini for the band's next album, Fun And Games, Tom was replaced by Brad Ber. After the album's release in the summer of 1997, the band started touring and gained a cult following. Their big break came in 1998, when they signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released High School Rock.
After touring for the High School Rock release, the band made a conscious decision to take their Ramones sound to the extreme and released five albums in a one year period. Live: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, File Under Ramones and Get Lost all made it into stores before 1999 was over. The band also played the first of what would become two shows as Joey Ramone's backing band at at CBGB's in NYC. Plastic Surgery and Split were both released to stores in January of 2000. During this period the band went through multiple line-up changes before finally settling in for good with Josh Blackway (aka Jonny Huntington) on second guitar and Rick Wise, formerly of Tantrum Of The Muse, on drums.
The band spent the remainder of 2000 on the road touring throughout the US and Europe.
The spring of 2001 saw the release of Rock 'N' Roll Habits For The New Wave (a collection of newly recorded versions of selected songs from the band's pre-Tooth And Nail era). After perfecting their Ramones-meets-90's pop-punk sound, the band went in a much more pop oriented direction for the Songs In The Key Of You album, which was released in late summer 2001.
Cliffy left the band just before the release of the Songs In The Key Of You record and after a short break, the band regrouped with new guitarist, Andy Dibiaso and toured throughout 2002.
2003 brought two more releases from the band: an EP entitled The Soothing Sounds Of... and their final full-length of all new original material, Self-Titled Album.
The band ended their 10-year run in 2005 with a 30 song best-of disc entitled Growing Up Is No Fun: The Standards '95-'05 and played its final show at the Cornerstone Festival, bringing back Cliffy on guitar.
2) The Huntingtons were a late-60s garage rock band from Aberdeen, Washington.
Too Late
Huntingtons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to hear you whining anymore
I don't want to catch you knocking at my door
Oh no oh oh no
I'm just sitting here thinking to myself
I'd rather be at home hanging by myself
I don't think that I need any of your help
Oh no oh oh no
And oh I'm tired of the aggravation
Oh I'm sick of this dumb situation
Oh I'm trying to break out but then it's
Too late I'm talking to myself
I don't need anybody else
I'm doing just fine on my own
Nobody listens to me anyway
To anything I've got to say
So why don't you just leave me alone
I don't want to see your pictures anymore
I don't want to hear your stories anymore
I don't want to catch you sleeping on my floor
Oh no oh oh no
And I'm tired of the infatuation
Oh I'm sick of this same situation
Oh I'm trying to break out but then it's
clear that the singer in this Huntingtons song, "Too Late," has had enough of the person they are addressing. The lyrics are clear in their demands: they do not want to see them cry or hear them whine, they do not want them knocking at their door, nor do they need their help. The singer is content being alone and thinking to themselves at home; they do not require any assistance or pity from the other person. The tone of the lyrics suggests that the singer has been enduring this vexing situation for a while, and they have finally come to the end of their rope.
The chorus brings out the frustration that the singer feels with the situation, with an escalating level of annoyance through each stanza until the climax of the lyrics, "So why don't you just leave me alone." They are indeed done with this circumstance and want nothing to do with the person they are addressing. The verses contain direct messages that make it clear that the singer does not want to see or hear from them anymore. They are done with the aggravation and the infatuation that has seemingly plagued them for who knows how long.
Overall, it is an excellent break-up song that highlights the frustration that someone can feel when they have had enough of a continued, toxic relationship.

they're still together?
Jane Doe
The Huntingtons are NOT a Christian pop punk band. They are a loud, live, and fast punk band!!
Jim Duccilli
Jane Doe: I have the same question. Their lyrics are more along the lines of "bubble-gum" music. Where did the Christian label come from? It's fine with me, but I just don't get it.
Mike Anderson
@Jim Duccilli I know some of the original dudes are Christian. Cliff mainly. I hate how anyone would be turned off by that though. They're not preaching in their music. They have a few mentions "Jackie is an Atheist", but they come off sillly and Ramones-ish. They're a great band! That's all that matters!!
