Rx Bandits

Rx Bandits are a progressive rock band from Southern California known for blending genres like ska, punk, reggae, and post-hardcore into a distinctive, ever-evolving sound. Originally forming in the late '90s as a more traditional ska-punk outfit, the band quickly grew beyond their roots to explore more complex musical territory with each release. Albums like "Progress" (2001) and "The Resignation" (2003) marked a turning point in their sound, incorporating more rock and experimental elements, while "…And the Battle Begun" and "Mandala" further showcased their technical prowess, dynamic song structures, and thought-provoking lyrics.

Throughout their career, Rx Bandits earned a reputation for fiercely energetic live shows and a DIY ethos, touring extensively and cultivating a loyal fanbase along the way. Their 2014 album "Gemini, Her Majesty" highlighted a more melodic and layered approach, signaling both a maturity and continued exploration in their music. Though Rx Bandits have occasionally paused touring and recording over the years, they’ve remained a beloved and influential presence in the alternative rock and progressive scenes.
