Mea Culpa

We have broken up. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We love you dearly and we hope we left the punk rock slightly better than we found it. If it strikes your fancy, check out some former Mea Culpa-ites new bands, including The Flux Capacitors, featuring Matty and SHorthand For EPic, featuring Billy. They are quite good.Now back to our regularly scheduled bio.Drawing from a diverse grab-bag of musical styles and genres and filtering them through a megaphone cranked to 11, Mea Culpa (Latin for My Responsibility) blasts out socially aware punk rock with a journalists eye for complexity, a romantics sense of compassion and the ferocious rage of a drunken, rabid badger.Formed in June of 2000, Mea Culpa played its first show on November 30, commemorating the one year anniversary of the WTO protests in Seattle. Since then, Mea Culpa has played to enthusiastic audiences everywhere from small bars and all-ages venues to 1000+ capacity clubs, as well as performing regularly at protests and benefit shows for worthy causes.In May of 2003 they released their first full-length album, "They Put You In A Mask" on venerable Northwest indie label Empty Records US. The album was recieved with near universal critical acclaim. That was very nice. :-)
