As long as you keep fucking your life up, we’ll provide the soundtrack.
Hated by the radio and hidden from parents like Playboys under mattress. The Altarboys don't give a fuck. They've been doing whatever they feel their whole lives and that's not gonna change because the wind starts blowing metal punk or whatever the flavor is this week. I could blow sunshine up your ass all day long about blah blah blah punk points and street cred or you could listen for yourself and make a decision.

We played 72 shows in the last year, what did you do?
"There has only been one time that I can remember experiencing anything as orgasmic as The Altarboys. That was when I was temporarily dead back in the 90's. Yeah.....that was alright." ~ HeWhoCannotBeNamed of The Dwarves
Meet The Altarboys. Rippin', arrogant, irreverent, sing-along-and-get-drunk-with punk rock from Portland. This show will be TONS of fun.-Chico Beat
We write songs, we play songs, we drink, we hope someone will be sober enough to get us to the next place. Can we stay at your place? We got no where else to go.
