Artist History Many have heard the name whispered in dark nightclubs and screamed by homeless madmen at the bus stop, but not many know who or what POPDeFECT really is. The astounding truth is enough to surprise nearly everyone. POPDeFECT is probably the best known invisible cult band playing around the country today. Their pictures do not appear on the cover of Spin or Rolling Stone, yet everyone seems to have heard of them. Over the years the three members have survived six vans, two drum sets, three guitars, countless other bands, entire club scenes and record labels and managed to put up with each other the entire time. Well, most of the time, anyway. With the help of modern technology, one day EVERYONE will know of POPDeFECT and clink glasses to the Acid Surf Punk Pop that has become the bands signature. For now, the band relaxes in their comfortable Silver Lake homes in dirty old Los Angeles plotting the next move against the monolithic music industry which seems powerless to destroy them.
