“He [Brian Ponce] is the most underrated singer on the scene today.”
The Altons are a band based out of Maywood, California, composed of Bryan Ponce, Adriana Flores, Caitlin Moss, Joseph Quinones and Chris Manjarrez. Upon hearing their song “When You Go (That’s When You Know)” for the first time, one might assume that The Altons were yet another 60s group who had gone under appreciated. By doing some digging however, you would quickly realize the song was actually released in 2020! In an interview with VoyageLA, Ponce described the group as follows: “Making music and putting together a live show for people of all ages to enjoy is what we specialize in. We are most known for taking elements of different music and fusing them into one cohesive sound”. As was the case a majority of the time throughout history, things changed for the better with the addition of a woman to the mix. According to Ponce, “When Adriana came into the scene, she came from more of a rock steady, more soul, more blues, more funk scene, and so it definitely opened up a whole new world and possibilities” (OC Weekly).
