Plague Vendor

Formed in 2008, the band carved a name for themselves in the Los Angeles club scene with their unhinged physical live shows and turbulent flavor of post-punk. Word was out that frontman Brandon Blaine’s enigmatic presence drew parallels with young Iggy Pop and Nick Cave. Their performances caught the attention of Epitaph Records owner Brett Gurewitz. He signed them to the label in 2013.  

Their debut album Free To Eat clocked a combustible ten songs at seventeen minutes. It received critical acclaim drawing comparisons to Gun Club, Iggy & The Stooges, The Cramps, and Jesus Lizard.  

The two follow up albums BLOODSWEAT and By Night bolstered up their reputation as a heavy hitting rock band who knew their way around a studio. These two albums showed Plague Vendor expanding on their sound by working with producers Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, The Walkmen) and John Congleton (St. Vincent et al.), respectively.  

The band’s top-of-the-class live show has secured them spots opening for the likes of Muse, Deftones, The Offspring, Social Distortion, Refused and many others. They have received generous write-ups for their appearances in the US/UK festival and club circuits.  

Plague Vendor is continuing to hold up their reputation as one of the hardest working bands on the stage with newly recruited Henri Cash (Starcrawler) on guitar duties. The band has been testing new material on the road.
