About The Despised
Founded in early 1995 by members of several of Atlanta’s punk & metal bands, The Despised blend fierce punk chord structures, powerful hardcore vocals and aggressive guitar driven rhythms to produce one of the most relentless, unforgiving hardcore/punk bands to ever take the stage. Blend the raw brutality and power of Slayer with the grit of Motorhead songwriting, throw in the punk-rock mayhem of The Exploited and the hardcore vengeance of Agnostic Front and you’ve got The Despised! Characterized by many reviews as very fast, very hard, very mean, hardcore/punk; The Despised have left a lasting impression on fans across America, Europe and Japan with their ‘80’s style brutal, fast, unrelenting hardcore. The Despised has shared the stage with everyone from Bad Brains, Submachine, Gang Green, Subhumans, GBH, Antiseen, Hellstomper, The Queers, Nashville Pussy, Mastodon, The Business, The Meatmen, Joe Coffee, Discharge and Vice Squad along with many others lost in the alcoholic haze…They recently got a "shout out" and ringing endorsement from the Reverend Paul Bearer (Sheer Terror/Joe Coffee) as being "the best fuckin' hardcore band since Poison Idea!" "This isn’t that pull-up-your-goddamned-sagging-pants, nü-metal, craptacular OzFest “hardcore.” And it sure as shit ain’t that mesh-trucker-cap-pulled-to-the-side-of-your-head-with-an-H2O-hoodie-on-in-90-degree-heat “hardcore,” either. No, FUCK alla that. This is “get in, or get the fuck out” hardcore. The real deal. This is The Despised." –Designated Dale (Razorcake Issue#43) The Despised has completed three Japanese tours, three European tours, has played the 2009 Punk & Disorderly Festival in Berlin and is currently in the process of booking a full US tour for Fall 2009.
