Smut Peddlers, a punk band originating from Southern California, made a mark with their unabashedly raucous and provocative style. The band was formed in Redondo Beach in April 1993. The band has been performing live since 1993 and has toured in Europe and North America. The Smut Peddlers are notorious in Southern California for their spirited and rowdy live shows.They played regularly in Orange County in the early 2000s. Formed by punk veterans like vocalist Mike Cyco (formerly of No Mercy) and guitarist Frank Casillas (of Voodoo Glow Skulls), they epitomized the region’s irreverent punk ethos. Their music, characterized by aggressive riffs and bluntly humorous lyrics, resonated with fans of hardcore punk.
