Pulley was something of a pop-punk supergroup with members of Ten Foot Pole and Strung Out. The band was started after singer Scott Radinsky was kicked out of Ten Foot Pole for not having enough time to commit to the band (in addition to being a singer, Radinsky was also a Major League Baseball relief pitcher.)
The song ‘Cashed In’ is from their 1996 debut, Esteem Driven Engine. The song outlines Radinsky’s reaction to the commercialization of punk music. Radinsky (along with most of the other members of Pulley) was a veteran pioneer of the pop-punk movement before it was commercially viable and the historical importance of their former bands is often overlooked because they didn’t strive to achieve mainstream success.
