Weekend Nachos were a formidable force in the hardcore punk scene, hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 2004, the group quickly established a reputation for their ferocious blend of powerviolence, a genre characterized by its blistering speeds, aggressive vocals, and abrupt shifts in tempo and rhythm. Weekend Nachos consisted of key members John Hoffman on vocals, Andrew Nelson on guitar, Drew Brown on bass, and Brian Laude on drums. The band's lyrical content was often a raw social commentary on personal and societal issues, woven together with a sense of humor that reflected their band name's incongruous nod to party vibes.

Through their tenure, Weekend Nachos released a torrent of intense musical offerings that contributed to their status as icons in the underground music community. Concluding their brutal and relentless journey with the unforgiving full-length album "Apology" in 2016, they left a legacy of searing, no-holds-barred records. Their impressive discography includes potent albums such as "Still," often celebrated for its crushing riffs and explosive energy, and "Worthless," which showcased the band's ability to evolve their sound while maintaining a raw, visceral edge. Weekend Nachos disbanded after a final show in January 2017, but their impact on the hardcore scene and their influence on the genre's aesthetics resonated with fans and musicians long after their departure from the stage.
