Death Valley Meth Lab is a political anarchist punk band from the San
Fernando Valley, California. They created a unique style of
American hardcore punk mixed with British hardcore. They were known
for their anti-authoritarian and anti-establishment
messages.
The band had a large underground following in the
mid-1980s. Things came to an abrupt end in 1987 when their singer
unexpectedly joined the military. Soon afterwards the bassist
(Satan) and guitarist (Bonebreaker Bob) were sentenced to Federal
Prison terms. Many believe the charges were fabricated. The
original guitarist (Joey Teenager) was shot and killed by a police
officer in late 1990 during a routine traffic stop.
"Shotgun
Mike" (lead singer) served in the US Army's infantry was a combat
veteran of Panama '89 and Gulf War in 1990. The band re-formed in
mid 2000.
