Plutocracy - Dankstahz (1995)

Plutocracy was a Grindcore band from Atherton California and a major player in the West Bay underground fast music scene. They existed from 1988-1993 and then reformed in 1998 to record an album to honor former bass player Dan "Zodiac Iller" Hogan who had recently passed. Plutocracy's musical style can be summarized in one word: Dankcore. A mix of Grindcore, distortion, movie samples, gangtsa' rap and multiple screaming voices with references to killing cops, smoking weed and inside jokes regarding their "crew", known to many as the "Doomryderz". The group consisted of Stinkweed (guitar, vocals), Kalmex (guitar, vocals), Frank Ripple (bass), Battle Axe Max (Max Ward, drums), Dan Hogan (bass, vocals), Billy (bass), Chris V (bass), Jessie (vocals) and Mike (bass). They put out a demo called "Progress", several split 7" records with 976, Aproctous, Discordance Axis, Phobia and a few EPs one titled "Snitch" and the other "Freedom Denied" which were all later released on the Dankstahz CD. In 98' came the final Plutocracy album Sniping Pigz.

Even today their influence is still strong in the underground music scene. The former members themselves did everything but slow down after the demise of Plutocracy. They went on to form such bands as Spazz, Agents Of Satan, No Le$$, Kalmex & The Riffmerchants, Go Like This! and Kompound (a rap group) as well as form record labels and continue to push the envelope in the West Coast scene.

Throw'n this up after Devildowninga dig'n the Agents Of Satan's tracks on "This Comp Kills Fascists" that he posted yesterday.
The Agents Of Satan formed in Redwood City, Ca. back in 1995 from the ashes of a band called Radioactive Lunch and are still in existence today in one form or another. I'm lucky enough to have witnessed the live brutality brought forth by the A.O.S many times and they always delivered the goods. Here are a few names in the West Bay Coalition family of bands that A.O.S members are in and have been in Deadbodies Everywhere, Plutocracy, Go Like This!, Altamira, Funeral Shock and Apeshit. Not much info here but you can check out some of the previous mentioned bands. Comments are greatly accepted!!
