Cheap Sex


Cheap Sex was forged out of a need for real, socially aware punk in the San Diego scene. With an outbreak of pop-punk and emo the scene seemed void of any punk with a hardcore/street/77 influence. Started in December of 2002 the band quickly came together and had a five-song demo. Soon after they were signed to Punk Core Records and recorded a full-length album titled Launch Off To War (Punk Core Records 2003). Release date is July 7th. n April 2004, the band recorded their second album for Punk Core Records, entitled Headed for a Breakdown, released October 5, 2004. They toured extensively during that summer, playing along the east coast with label mates Lower Class Brats. The last record by Cheap Sex, Written in Blood, was released on June 6th of 2006.
Already Cheap Sex has shared the stage with some of the biggest acts of today and yesterday, such acts are. 999, Slaughter and The Dogs, Lower Class Brats, English Dogs, The Feederz, Agent Orange, Defiance, and Icons of Filth to name a few.
Members in this band have been in some of the top acts in punk. The singer Mike Virus was a founding member, and original vocalist of the Philly outfit The Virus. Johnny O was in many bands including The Worthless and The Heartaches (USA). Two of the members, Gabe Skunt and Chris Blitz, were in the band P.B.R. and the Blackout Sluts.
