Punchfaced

Punchfaced is an American post-grunge/grunge band formed in Seattle in 1992. The band consists of Christian Mendels (vocals), Dave McGovey (guitar), Leo Machen (bass), and Eddie Vendal (drums). The band played the Bay Area inspired by such bands as Nirvana and Pearl Jam throughout the 90s, but after the grunge movement died down they turned to more rock influence. They released their first album in 1994, Waste with a tribute song to the late Kurt Cobain. Their second "grunge album" was 1996's Placental. After a hiatus the band returned in 2002 with their post-grunge debut Lights of the City. In 2004 they returned to a more darker sound with Placental II, and 2006 stayed true to their grunge roots with Mind It. In 2009 they released their seventeenth anniversary album Hormoned.
