Venom Lab is a punk band based out of Los Angeles, CA. Crediting a massive list of influences (bands like Strung Out, Good Riddance, Slayer and At the Gates are all listed as influences alongside acts like Laser Dance, Kavinsky and Rodrigo y Gabriela, etc) the band blends elements of punk and metal with electronica and rock.

Originally formed by brothers Wesley, Stephen and Dolf Richards in the bowels of Houston, Brothers Richards quickly realized that it was going to be difficult to produce music while serving consecutive life sentences for multiple counts of deicide, so they broke out of Huntsville and brought their sound to the streets of Hollywood. Unfortunately they quickly fell into a rough crowd, and since their knowledge of high school themed musicals was sub par, to say the least, they were quickly cast out of the inner Hollywood circle.

Relishing in their new pariah social standing, Venom Lab began lashing out through the use of blistering guitar riffs, shredtastic synth leads, ear-bleedingly powerful bass lines and groin grabbingly vicious double kick driven drums. Leaving a trail of tweener blood in their wake, the punk act began to rise, but unfortunately due to the simultaneous crack and heroine addiction of the third key grip's second great uncle, the band once again finds themselves fighting their way out of the gutter.
