    Released: 1994

Pokinatcha is the debut studio album by punk rock band MxPx released on October 26, 1994, through Tooth & Nail Records.[2] The album reflects influence from skate/surf punk, and underground punk generally. The album's name came from a Snickers candy bar commercial, which included an ad jingle saying hunger is "poking at you". The songs are characterized by their raw punk sound, catchy rhythm, and classic punk three-chord guitar style. It is the only MxPx album to include original guitarist Andy Husted.[3][4]
