The Pontiac Brothers were an American hard rock band formed in 1983.
Ward Dotson founded the Pontiac Brothers after splitting with The Gun Club in 1983.
Their debut, Big Black River, was issued in France in 1985, which eventually landed them a Stateside deal with Frontier Records.
Guitarist Jon Wahl left the group in 1986, shortly before they issued Fiesta en la Biblioteca.
Dotson later played in The Liquor Giants, and Wahl went on to form the group, Claw Hammer.
