CARSEX amped-up sound is what the name implies: Sleazy, primitive, uncomfortable & just as good as your friends told you it’d be.

Forged by the survivors of Long Beach music scene bands Damned Age, Black Velvet Brigade, and Red River Massacre, the five music veterans in Carsex have slugged it out in the clubs of Orange County, California for more than 10 years. While performing shows in these various groups on the circuit they became friends over time.
As the bands they were in either dissolved or changed direction – they decided to form under a new banner with shared musical tastes & goals, and Caresx formed in 2018. Their sound is a mix of Circle Jerks/Black Flag/The Germs, with Danzig, Fu Manchu & a bit Queens of the Stone Age blended into a potent combination.
They play hard and loud with no hint of an apology.Carsex has previously released 2 EPs: 2019’s CarSex and 2020’s 2020 EP, which featured the singles “Your Generation” and “Lovesick”. A new EP is being finalized and will be released later this summer.
Carsex is very much a live band, and shows are currently being booked to support the release of “Crooked Canvas” and the upcoming EP. They’ve opened for Stillwell (Fieldy from Korn’s Band), The Obsessed, Mondo Generator, Suicide Silence, Unsane, Dead Poet’s Society, Narcoleptic Youth, and O’Zorn!, among others.
