The Punk Group is an electro/synth-rock comedy band based in Portland, Oregon. The group began in 2002 "as a joke" ["Nobrainszine.com Interview", July 2005 ( [http://www.nobrainszine.com/interviews34.htm link] )] and consists of two male members who dub themselves "Sex Object" and "The Model". They record and release all their albums themselves. ["Nobrainszine.com Interview", July 2005 ( [http://www.nobrainszine.com/interviews34.htm link] )] Critics cite the band's 1980s musical influences, particularly Devo. ["Portland Tribune Review", December 2005 ( [http://www.portlandtribune.com/features/story.php?story_id=32993 link] )]

The Punk Group frequently criticize pop culture and other artists in their songs and are known for their politically incorrect lyrics. ["Willamette Week", 2007 ( [http://localcut.wweek.com/2007/10/22/oh-that-punk-group-warning-adult-content/ link] )] "We like to put people in their place and knock them down a few pegs, you know, make sure they don't get too big for their britches," says one member. ["Nobrainszine.com Interview", July 2005 ( [http://www.nobrainszine.com/interviews34.htm link] )] Their live show consists of the two members (who sing and play guitar, bass or synthesizer), a drum machine and assorted costumes. ["Punknews.org", 2006 ( [http://www.punknews.org/review/4882 link] )]
