X is a noted punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977. While they achieved only limited mainstream success, they were widely considered one of the most accessible and tuneful of Los Angeles’ many punk bands. Their landmark 1980 record Los Angeles resonated so loudly with the artisans of the city it is named after, that the band received an Official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles in acknowledgment of their important contributions to Los Angeles music and culture. They were hugely influential on various genres of music, including punk, hardcore, folk and protest music. Exene especially was known for her political activism.

Original members were Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake. After Zoom retired from the band, Dave Alvin, then Tony Gilkyson replaced him on guitar. Zoom reunited with X in 1998. The original line-up now tours not-so-sporadically.

*The commentary is by “Corporations_Ate_My_Baby” the member posting on this YouTube page who can also be contacted at his political activism page -

The God Awfuls are a punk rock/street punk band from Los Angeles and are currently signed to Kung-Fu Records.

The God Awfuls emerged out of a rather desolate and uncultured section of Los Angeles, a potential influence in their style choice.

Floating around between high school bands, singer/guitarist Kevin De Franco and bassist Kyle Lumsden eventually crossed paths and formed the base of The God Awfuls. A few random band members passed through before the groundwork solidified with guitarist Chris La Fave and drummer John Skelly. Luckily, the popularity of punk in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. The God Awfuls’ songs are typical punk rock, but they have considerably catchy choruses.[1] The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to “true” punks, due to attitudes towards “fake punk” all over the place.

Their debut album, Next Stop Armageddon and one such song, Watch It Fall, is featured on the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. It was produced by The Greedy Bros. (a.k.a. Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves and engineering partner-in-crime Brad Cook). The God Awfuls took a hiatus until about 2007/2008 when they were featured in the documentary “Punks Not Dead”. In July of 2008, The God Awfuls released 3 new songs on a demo.

On October 28, 2008, The God Awfuls announced on their MySpace page they would be changing their name to Brand New War.
