Killer/Krazy Band Name Of The Week - Plague Vendor

...can't decide which is cooler: Plague Vendor's name or their musical style - "voodoo punk". At the very least, both live up to their names.

The California band's music is catchy, groove-laden, aggressive and dark all at the same time. The guys came up with the band name after reading a Mexican folk tale, and in typical rock n' roll tradition, a misreading of one word becomes history. 

​Formed in 2009 and playing their asses off into a deal with Epitaph Records, their second release, BLOODSWEAT,
​was recorded in two weeks(!) and runs just over 20 minutes. Here's the first single, 'Jezebel':

And we would be remiss if we neglected to mention that the Plague guys were recently part of probably the best band/beer collab ever. With a Canadian brewer, nonetheless?!?
