The Beatnik Termites are also cited as a major influence by numerous straightforward pop punk acts including the Teen Idols, Mach Pelican, and The Steinways.
In the Summer of 2006, "Revenge For Hire" was released on Don Giovanni Records which gained them a following in both the New Brunswick basement scene as well as the pop punk scene resulting in them playing many shows with other local pop punk bands such as The Ergs!, and The Steinways.
