Formed in the early 1980s in Dallas, Texas, Stick Men With Ray Guns stood as an uncompromising force in the underground punk scene. Their name itself is a nod to subversion and the absurd, characteristics that underpinned their raw, raucous sound and onstage antics. The band was notorious for their confrontational performances and bleak, nihilistic lyrics that provided scathing social commentary, often fueled by the intense and unpredictable energy of frontman Bobby Soxx (real name Bobby Glenn Calverley).

Despite never achieving widespread commercial success, Stick Men With Ray Guns have garnered a cult following, revered for their unrelenting, noise-laden approach to punk rock music, which has influenced countless noise and punk bands that followed. Their discography consists of live recordings and posthumous releases that capture the band's chaotic spirit, as they never officially released a studio album during their active years. Key posthumous compilations such as "Grave City" have helped to cement their legacy within the punk pantheon, while recordings like "Rock Against Reagan - Live in Houston April 6, 1984" and "Some People Deserve to Suffer" showcase their raw live energy and the audacious provocations that often left audiences bewildered and enthralled. Stick Men With Ray Guns remains a legend for punk aficionados, a testament to the era of unapologetic rebellion and the darker edges of the punk movement.
