Ninety Pound Wuss was an influential punk rock band that emerged from the fervent music scene of Port Angeles, Washington in the early 1990s. Known for their high-energy performances and socially conscious lyrics, they quickly made a name for themselves within the punk community. The band was initially signed to Tooth & Nail Records, a label known for promoting Christian punk and hardcore bands, though Ninety Pound Wuss often transcended simple genre or subculture categorization with their broader themes and appeal.

Their self-titled debut album "Ninety Pound Wuss" was released in 1995 and carved out a niche for the group with its raw sound and unapologetically earnest vocals. By the time they released their third album "Short Hand Operation" in 1999, their sound had evolved, showing a greater complexity in musicianship and a deeper exploration into varied punk sub-genres. Their final album, "Where Meager Die of Self Interest," was released in 2000 and continued to showcase the band's growth, both musically and lyrically. However, despite critical acclaim within their circles, the group disbanded the same year, leaving behind a strong legacy of intensity and integrity that would influence numerous bands in the punk scene for years to come.
