Dwarves

DWARVES
 
 
Dwarves  is an American punk rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois, as The Suburban Nightmare, in the mid-1980s.  They are currently based in San Francisco, California.  Formed as a garage punk band, their career subsequently saw them move in a hardcore direction before settling into an eclectic punk rock sound emphasizing intentionally shocking lyrics.  They have been described as “one of the last true bastions of punk rock ideology in the contemporary musical age”.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Marc Diamond of Mötochrist was the lead guitarist for Dwarves for several years and was also in Texas Terri Bomb.  Diamond was previously in Mondo Generator that was founded by Queens of the Stone Age bass guitarist Nick Oliveri in 1997.
