VCS delivers a fierce blend of hardcore punk, skatepunk, and crossover thrash, combining aggressive riffs, dynamic song structures, and catchy vocals. With decades in Southern California’s punk and metal scenes, guitarist Josh Torres, drummer Chris Steik, bassist Rick Pinto, and vocalist Bryan Hoxsey are creating their strongest music yet.

Short for “Violates Community Standards,” VCS critiques oppressive systems, not individuals. The band stands against authoritarian norms, championing freedom, dissent, and a community for outcasts and the awakened.
