The Puget Sound is the brain child of John Dryer & Rick Hines who, together, were stockpiling original material & needed an outlet. Inspired by other local bands (namely: The Visible Targets) they recorded at the then fairly new Triad Studios & produced a minor local hit "Planet X" which was eventually used as the lead off song on the "KYYX Local Heroes/New Faces" cassette & got massive air play. They continued playing/recording throughout the 80's gaining air play & a minor cult following. Unexpectedly, they called it quits in the early 90's for reasons unknown to this writer to this very day. There was a brief reunion at the Maple Valley "MorningWood Stock".  Currently, John & Rick are working on completing what they started/left off by recording the rest of their catalog.
