This August, SQUID PISSER launches a gut-churning month-long U.S. rampage with bloodthirsty Aussies King Parrot and the crushing behemoth Bonginator unleashing a relentless maelstrom of sweat, spit, and sonic bile. Along the way, they’ll infect the twisted chaos of Gathering of the Juggalos before closing the carnage by tearing it wide open for the infamous O Sees in Los Angeles.
After hurling their bile-soaked 2024 full-length ‘Dreams of Puke’ into the world, SQUID PISSER is back in the slime trenches, wrangling fresh abominations with noise conjurer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business). The new filth is bubbling just beneath the surface, ready to rip open your brain with mutated riffs and corrosive noise.
Frontman Tommy Meehan shares:
“After we dropped ‘Dreams of Puke’ and ‘Vaporize a Neighbor’ and toured a bunch with GWAR last year, we never really stopped. We’re wrapping new recordings with Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, etc), and we’re deep in the mixing phase right now—it’s some of the nastiest stuff we’ve done.
"This August, we’re heading out for a full U.S. tour with King Parrot and Bonginator, and somehow, we’re also playing the Gathering of the Juggalos? Our homecoming show is in Los Angeles with O Sees, which we are super excited about... It’s a weird, stacked, totally chaotic year, but that’s how we all love it...“

About SQUID PISSER:
Hailing from Los Angeles, SQUID PISSER is a grotesque vortex of hardcore, noise, and avant-grind—founded in 2020 by guitarist/noise alchemist/vocalist Tommy Meehan (GWAR, Cancer Christ, Deaf Club, Sweatband Records) and drummer Seth Carolina (Starcrawler), joined by guitarists Michael Armendariz (Duck Duck Goose, Melted Bodies), Raz Azraai (Cancer Christ), and bassist Corey Wolford, the band summons a slime-soaked chaos that’s as unhinged as it is surgically precise.
Two full-length releases, 'My Tadpole Legion' (2023,Three One G/Sweatband) and 'Dreams of Puke' (2024,SKiN GRAFT/Sweatband), along with the EP 'Vaporize A Neighbor'(packaged as a comic-book/vinyl set), showcase the band’s breakneck fusion of grungy sludge, grindcore intensity, and grotesque humor.
'My Tadpole Legion' launched with a cavalcade of guest vocalists, including names from Melt-Banana, The Locust, Punch, Nekrogoblikon, and more. Mixed by Converge’s Kurt Ballou, the album is a head-on collision of manic pedalboard wizardry, savage drums, and creepy alien vocals. Following that, 'Dreams of Puke' pushed the band’s sonic depravity even further—melding grind, noise rock, and mathcore into a dizzying, high-speed barrage. The album features even more left-field experimentation, unhinged tempo shifts, and grotesque lyrical absurdity. Visually tied together by the disturbing artwork of Gregory Jacobsen (Lovely Little Girls), 'Dreams of Puke' cements SQUID PISSER’s reputation as genre-melting chaos dealers with zero interest in playing it safe.
On stage, the band resembles a horde of mutant cephalopods: flickering lights, fuzzy coats, crowd-invading vocals, mosh-pit invasions, and pure disorientation. Vocalist Tommy Meehanfrequently breaks the fourth wall—storming into the audience, screaming face-to-face, and turning every set into a sweaty, chaotic ritual. SQUID PISSER has been tearing up venues across the U.S. while opening for bands like GWAR and Melt-Banana.
Described as “blazing and shredding buckets of hot vomit and creamy Skittles at breakneck speeds,” SQUID PISSER thrives on controlled chaos: blistering noise, savage drumming, and slime-drenched vocals that defy convention. This isn’t for the faint-hearted—it’s unabashed, unsettling, utterly original hardcore from the underbelly of L.A.
