Pompous Diatribe is a no-holds-barred hardcore punk rock outfit straight from the gut of the scene, delivering raw, fast, and furious sound that hits like a Molotov cocktail to the system.
We draw heavy inspiration from the legends who paved the way: the razor-sharp satire and chaos of Dead Kennedys, the skate-punk thrash energy of RKL (Rich Kids on LSD), the dark, twisted genius of Rudimentary Peni, the uncompromising anarchist rage of Crass, the gritty SoCal hardcore punch of Litmus Green, the street-level Oi! fury of The Exploited, and the relentless street-punk anthems of The Casualties — plus a ton of other hardcore bands that keep the fire burning.
We're not here to play nice or fade into the background. We're actively grinding in the studio, writing and recording new music non-stop, because this shit doesn't wait.
We've got some live shows coming up soon — real-deal, sweat-drenched, in-your-face sets where the circle pits open and the message gets loud. Keep an eye out, come get rowdy, and scream along.
Pompous Diatribe — unapologetic, unrelenting, and ready to blow the roof off.
