History
Plague Vendor was formed in 2008, originating from a shared passion for punk rock among its members. Growing up in Whittier, a conservative exurb, they were inspired by the punk scenes of Los Angeles and other areas.[3]
In 2014, Plague Vendor signed with Epitaph Records and released their debut album, Free to Eat.[4] The same year, they were included on as one of AP's "100 Bands You Need to Know".[5]
Their sophomore album, Bloodsweat, produced by Stuart Sikes, was released in 2016, further developing their signature sound.[6] In 2019, they released their third album, By Night, produced by John Congleton, which incorporated elements of synth and electronic drums while maintaining their punk roots.[7]
Plague Vendor describe their sound as "Graveyard Groove": dark, yet danceable.
