The Despised

Ya know, we had this great bio written up with history and all that shit and then Designated Dale from Razorcake magazine summed it up best of all: "This isn’t that pull-up-your-goddamned-sagging-pants, nü-metal, craptacular OzFest “hardcore.” And it sure as shit ain’t that mesh-trucker-cap-pulled-to-the-side-of-your-head-with-an-H2O -hoodie-on-in-90-degree-heat “hardcore,” either. No, FUCK alla that. This is “get in, or get the fuck out” hardcore. The real deal. This is The Despised." –Designated Dale (Issue 43)

Please note: All album and T-Shirt art was drawn by Marvel Comics master ROD WHIGHAM and all art is copywritten by The Despised. The band name "The Despised" is also Federally and Internationally Trademarked and owned by The Despised so if you started a band by the same name, you'll probably want to change the name of your band. (Sorry kids!)

WE HAVE TWO ALBUMS for sale and ONE BRAND NEW 7"!! "Give Me Back My 10%" is a CD with all of the old stuff that has been out of print for 6 years! Then in 2006 we released "Punk, It's Not For Rich Kids Anymore!" which was all new and features covers of Sheer Terror's "Just Can't Hate Enough" and a re-worked version of Jim Carroll's "People Who Died" honoring many of our Atlanta friends who've left us over the years. BUY THEM!!!! They're $10 through CD Baby so just follow the link below and buy one today! OR, maybe you don't want to spend a whole $10 on the album but would rather be a techno geek and just download a song or two.....well, NOW YOU CAN!!! Goto iTunes and download "Give Me Back My 10%!" here or "Punk, It's Not For Rich Kids Anymore!" here!!!!!
