The Vindictives

The Vindictives

The Vindictives were a Chicago-based punk rock underground group during the 1990s. They were peers with Screeching Weasel and other bands from the era, they were also heavily-influenced by the Ramones. Joey Vindicitive's characteristic nasal melodies often told the story of alienation, psychosis, social-ills, and contiunally rejected rules of politeness. The lyrics were often intelligent outrages communicated through intentionally immature self defeating soliloquies.

They began their career in 1991, cutting their first 7" record later that year with the lineup of Joey Vindictive (vocals), Johnny Personality (bass), Ben Weasel (guitar) (soon to be replaced by Billy Blastoff), Dr. Bob (guitar), and Erik Elsewhere (soon to be replaced by P.J. Parti) (drums). The band would end up releasing 12 EPs and albums until July of 1996, when Joey Vindictive revealed that his health issues would prevent the band from going on. Luckily for him, he overcame his ailments to re-form the band in 2000, cutting a new album and overseeing the re-release of a significant part of their catalog.

Guitarist Robert "Dr. Bob" Nielson died of a heroin overdose on February 22, 2003 [http://www.punknews.org/article/5405] .

The Vindictives' song "The Invisible Man" was covered by Ghoti Hook on their cover album "Songs We Didn't Write".

The Vindictives' song "In the Corner" was covered by Apocalypse Hoboken on their "Inverse, Reverse, Perverse".
