Semtex Vest

Semtex Vest got it's start in late 2005. Christian and Ruben formerly of DEAD AMERICA (90's OC punk superheros / Costa Mesa troublemakers) which featured John Haddad (ex-PHOBIA and current FINAL CONFLICT) called it quits in 2003. Kent, long time Dead America Fan and wannabe Costa Mesa Troublemaker, had been playing drums for years with Sludgecore giants, MANGE, which featured Todd K (DYSTOPIA) and Bruce R. (PHOBIA). After the demise of Dead America, Christian and Ruben had spent nearly two years trying to fufill their self fufilled prophecy later known as Semtex Vest. After two years of unsuccessful collaboration and many sleepless nights of depression, it finally dawned on Christian to give old friend "Kent" a call. Having been in MANGE for almost 9 years and only playing 3 shows, kent accepted the invitation with open arms (No disrespectMange was a great band, we all lived too far apart). The timing couldn't have been better. Mange disbanded several days after Christian gave Kent a call and thus, Semtex Vest was born. Fast Forward 2009 – Steve replaces Kent on Obo and we're in process of finalizing full length and writing new tunes with one handed drum rolls and backwards blast beats, by virtue of a crushing grindcore band. More to come!!!
