The Plugz (also known as "Los Plugz") were a Latino punk band from Los Angeles, California that formed in 1977 and disbanded in 1984. They and The Zeros were among the first Latino punk bands, although several garage rock bands, such as Thee Midniters and Question Mark & the Mysterians, predated them. The Plugz melded the spirit of punk and Latino music.
The Big Takeover magazine was an early fan of The Plugz, and editor Jack Rabid most recently played one of their songs, “In the Wait”, on August 12, 2019.
