Regulator Watts was a post-hardcore/emo band from Washington, D.C.. The band was active from 1996 to 1998.

The band's music resembles that of illustrious predecessor Hoover, with more of an emphasis on taut, mechanical basslines and feedback-laden, spare guitar lines, as opposed to Hoover's fluid, jazzy basslines and contrasting guitar styles. When the band broke up, Dunham formed a new band, Abilene, and Sless-Kitain joined Bluetip.

They released two albums:
'The Aesthetics of No-Drag' (1997)
'The Mercury CD' (1998) Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
