Whipping Boy

Whipping Boy from Palo Alto, CA

Whipping Boy’s origins trace back to the late 1970s punk scene, with Eugene S. Robinson immersed in the hardcore movement by 1980. The band’s lineup solidified with “The Real Dave” and Sam Smoot joining Eugene and Steve, creating a raw, intense sound that culminated in their first single “Human Farm” on MRR's Not So Quiet On the Western Front compilation and debut album The Sound of No Hands Clapping. After conquering hardcore, they sought to push their music into new territories.
