{{Authority control}}
Floating around between high school bands, singer/guitarist [[Kevin De Franco]] and bassist [[Kyle Lumsden]] eventually crossed paths and formed the base of The God Awfuls. A few random band members passed through before the groundwork solidified with guitarist [[Chris La Fave]] and drummer [[John Skelly]]. Luckily, the popularity of [[punk rock]] in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. God Awfuls songs are typical [[punk rock]], but they have considerably catchy choruses. The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to "true" punks, due to attitudes towards "fake punk" all over the place.
