Society's Parasites saw its birth in 1997. Started by brothers Jimmy (drums) and Freddy (vocals/guitar), their intentions were simple; to start a musical project that would let them release their anger and tension through loud vocals and loud instruments. The band underwent changes in 1998 and then again in 2005, finalizing the current line up with Vince on guitar and Andy Effe on bass. Enough with the history, lets get to the fun part... Slipping away from the more melodic/sing along style of Punk rock, Society's Parasites offer a genre that is genuine to their Punk rock roots. The sound is in your face and aimed to blow your ears away at a blazing speed. The style is fast, angry, and slips away from the basics with insane guitar licks/bends, deranged bass lines, and screaming vocals. The attitude is real, from the gang infested streets of Echo Park, Los Angeles. With influences ranging from bands and musicians like Filth, Muddy Waters, and Rancid, Society's Parasites have produced a genre that is different from the typical punk rock that is plagued with repetitive sing along songs that make you want to hug and pogo with the person standing beside you. Society's Parasites will NOT make you want to do such a thing. During the bands set you will want to take out your brass knuckles, clench your fist, and violently beat the person standing beside you. Let the mayhem begin... Society's Parasites signed a record deal with Hellcat Records and released their debut full length in 2007. The cd version contained 15 tracks, and a limited edition version was released on vinyl that contained an extra track and different artwork. Read more on Last.fm.
