A California band that turned frustration into anthems, from 'Last Resort' to recent albums like Crooked Teeth.
If you want to hear what they're about, start with 'Last Resort' and 'Scars.' Both songs frame that mix of raw energy and personal struggle pretty clearly.
When 'Last Resort' hit in 2000, it gave voice to a specific kind of frustration that wasn't getting much airplay. Songs like 'Scars' and 'Harder Than A Coffin Nail' keep that directness alive, dealing with depression and anxiety without softening the edges. They've stayed connected to listeners who recognize those themes in their own lives.
They formed in Vacaville, California, and Infest put them on the map with 'Last Resort.' After a temporary break in 2006, they kept releasing albums fairly steadily, from Getting Away With Murder to more recent ones like Ego Trip in 2022. Shaddix's openness about personal struggles and substance abuse conflicts has been part of their story all along.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
