OFF!
Founded: 2009
Location: United States
Off! (stylized as OFF!) is an American hardcore punk supergroup, formed in Los Angeles, California in late 2009 by Circle Jerks/Black Flag singer Keith Morris, Burning Brides frontman Dimitri Coats, Redd Kross bassist Steven Shane McDonald, and Rocket From The Crypt/Hot Snakes drummer Mario Rubalcaba. In 2021, it was announced that the line-up changed, with McDonald and Rubalcaba replaced by Autry Fulbright II and Justin Brown, respectively.

Album Review: OFF! - 'Wasted Years'
Classic gutter punk from veterans.
OFF!
When your lead singer, Keith Morris was the frontman and co-founding member for Black Flag, your punk career and aesthetic will most likely come pretty naturally. OFF! are a living example of this statement. Having emerged into the music scene a few years ago as a punk-rock supergroup of sorts, the band has enjoyed success, proving they are naturals when it comes to blending short and sharp songs with the die-hard punk ethos. Guitarist Dimitri Coats took some time out of his day to talk to us about the band's latest release, 'Wasted Years', touring and the living, expanding entity that is punk-rock.

Live Review: OFF!, Velociraptor, Undead Apes
"Apparently Keith Morris drank two iced coffees this afternoon and hasn’t had any dinner, a terrible mistake for a 57-year-old diabetic, he tells us."
