Lääz Rockit are a thrash metal band formed in San Francisco, California in 1982. Although one of the lesser-known groups of the Bay Area thrash metal scene, each album in their history has received high critical marks. One of their signature elements were Ibanez guitars adorned with elaborate airbrushed scenes of warfare.

The band broke up in the early 1990s but made some concert appearances in 2005, including a local benefit concert and 2 shows in the Netherlands and Japan. According to the group, there will never be another studio album; however, a DVD titled "Live Untold" was released in August 2006. [http://www.laazrockit.com]
