Spraynard

The self-proclaimed "demi-gods of horror-core", taking cues from Danzig, ABBA, and Blessid Union of Souls. Though they claim to support many progressive social causes, Pat was recently seen at an rally supporting the Iraq war. In his defense, Pat said that he "thinks it's time for the United States to rise as a true global power, and I don't think that it's wrong to be patriotic". This coupled with the fact that Dos keeps shaving his head has led many to assume that Spraynard is now a nationalist skinhead band.
