We were hanging out outside before the show and talking to Eric Wood of MAN IS THE BASTARD, smoking weed, and he kept referring to the police helicopters flying around as 'doom riders'. That summer, NO LE$$ played a show in downtown LA with Excruciating Terror and a contingent of us rolled down with them. The small scene in the West Bay was growing and long lasting friendship were being made.īy 1996, Stinkweed had joined Agents of Satan on guitar, Agents vocalist Lord Ballsakk was doing vocals for DEADBODIESEVERYWHERE, Dan Lactose was making beats and DJing for the SHEDWELLAS, a rap group with members of NO LE$$, SPAZZ did a US tour, and this thing of ours began calling our clique the West Bay Koalition. My band Radioactive Lunch had broken up and morphed into AGENTS OF SATAN. Max started his record label, 625, his first release being the NO LE$$/ETO split 7'. By 1994, these new bands had all released material. NO LE$$ was doing their thing and Jerry Guttierez from 976 started EVOLVED TO OBLITERATION. When Max quit Pluto, he started SPAZZ with Dan Lactose and Chris Dodge.

Bart had recorded Plutocracy, 976, Immortal Fate and Sheep Squeeze among many others at his studio in Palo Alto, House Of Faith. The guitarist, Dan Lactose, was instrumental in helping us out with shows and introducing us to recording engineer Bart Thurber. One show was with a band called Sheep Squeeze, also from Redwood City. Radioactive Lunch began playing live in 1992 and started to network with punk and metal bands from the area. The Peninsula on San Francisco Bay is made up of a dozen or so cities of various size, one after the other, south of San Francisco. We were from a small town called Foster City. In the early 90's, I played in a hardcore band called Radioactive Lunch. In early 1993, Max wanted to leave Plutocracy and the band broke up, the remaining members forming NO LE$$ with the Perez brothers from IMMORTAL FATE. Both of those records, by the way, were released after Pluto had broken up. Dan plays on the material that would be released on the split with DISCORDANCE AXIS. After recording their album Dankstahz, Billy left the band and was replaced by Dan Hogan (Big Boy), from local Hardcore band 976. Both bands played shows throughout the Bay Area and SoCal in the late 80's/ early 90's. Thomas' older brothers Josh and Jay (vocals, bass) both played in IMMORTAL FATE, along with Billy's older brother Pat on guitar. The line up that did the most recording was Max Ward on drums, Kindred McCune (Stinkweed) guitar, vocals, Thomas Perez (Kalmex) guitar and vocals, and Billy Ganley on bass. PLUTOCRACY formed in 1988, in Redwood City, California. I will try to explain it as simply as possible. The history of PLUTOCRACY is long, weaves back and forth and is in a way a history of the whole underground hardcore scene in the West Bay. While our true thoughts are being scatteredĪnd where when minerals are found in the ground, greed breeds.1.Destructive greetings from Perú Frank! how are you brother? all good there?ĭoing well brother, thanks for the opportunity.Ģ.Give us a short review of how Plutocracy is formed. To push and shove the youth into conformity Snitch was released in 1991 by Whirling Dervish Records and its a piece of heavy and raw brutality with some blasting parts: Deep low growling vocals, slow parts followed by aggressive outbreaks of insanity and angry lyrics dealing with sociopolitics, Red and black vinyl as far as i know. In 1998 Plutocracy formed back to record an album as an honor to Dan 'Zodiac Iller' Hogan (their former bassist) who had recently passed.

There is also the 'Progress' demo tape (92).
