Sloppy Seconds is a Ramones-influenced punk band from Indianapolis that started in the mid-1980s. With such underground hits as "Come Back, Traci" (a tribute to an underaged Traci Lords), "I Want 'em Dead", and "So F----- up", the band prefers to sing about such topics as pornography, classic horror movies, old TV shows, comic books, alcohol, being fat, and getting drunk. They have been quoted as being proud to be fat, drunk, and stupid.
Either way, they are Indianapolis punk legends...and probably the only band out there who could rival Poison Idea in terms of sheer weight. Sloppy Seconds hails from Indianapolis and play very melodic pop-punk with such philosophical lyrical content like "I Don't Wanna Be A Homosexual", "Why Don't Lesbians Love Me?" and "You Got a Great Body, But Your Record Collection Sucks". Their early releases had Steve Sloppy on drums, B.A. on vocals, Shazam Bo'Bajam on bass, and Danny Roadkill handling guitar, but they have since had several line-up changes. Their first single they released themselves on "Alternative Testicles" records, which followed with several singles and their all time classic album "Destroyed" on Toxic Shock, although the album has since been re-released several times on various labels. They have also put out other releases on Triple X, Taang, Metal Blade and most recently Nitro Records.
Tonight at The Emerson Theater (4624 E. 10th Street) they will officially release their first album in years, "Endless Bummer" and will have it available at the show on CD and vinyl LP. DON'T MISS THIS SHOW!!!
