Viva Hate Psychobilly? Hard Rock? Punk? The sound of Viva Hate could be described as all (or none) of the above. Drawing on influences such as American country music, 70s arena rock, early-80s skate punk and death rock, modern psychobilly, and more, Viva Hate has come to rise above the trends of cookie-cutter pop and retro rehash. By distilling the ingredients of their influences, rather than watering them down, Viva Hate are prepared to carve out their own niche in the ever-growing musical underground.

Viva Hate is:
Geoff Kresge (upright bass): member of AFI from 1992-1997 (electric bass); Tiger Army (upright bass) and HorrorPops (guitar).
Matt "Wedge" Wedgley (lead vox), former singer of The Force and Circus Tents.
Eric Razo (guitar) of LA area band Henchmen
Greg "Utter" McEntee (drums) of $wingin' Utter$
