The Expendables are a band that has distinguished itself in the rock music scene with a distinctive fusion of reggae, punk rock, and ska. Hailing from Santa Cruz, California, the band was formed in 1997, and they have been subtly blending surf rock vibes with an undercurrent of heavy metal since their inception. The band's line-up includes Geoff Weers on vocals and guitar, Adam Patterson on drums and vocals, Raul Bianchi on lead guitar, and Ryan DeMars on bass.

The Expendables have carved out their niche within the West Coast rock scene, building a dedicated fan base through relentless touring and an electrifying stage presence. Their recent string of releases, such as "Pleasure Point," and unique collaborations like "Homewrecker" with Little Stranger and "Do Me" with Bret Bollinger of Pepper, showcase their ability to adapt and infuse a variety of sounds whilst keeping their core identity intact. The cleverly titled "The ExpendaHoo!" illustrates the band's penchant for engaging with fellow artists, in this case teaming up with Howi Spangler of Ballyhoo!. Often celebrated for their fun-loving spirit and commitment to good times, tracks like "Social Drinker" and "Light Up Them Trees (It's Christmas)" have exemplified The Expendables' blend of humor and feel-good music, which continues to draw in listeners from multiple genres seeking the quintessential Californian sound.
