The God Awfuls are a punk rock/street punk band from Los Angeles and are currently signed to Kung-Fu Records.
The God Awfuls emerged out of a rather desolate and uncultured section of Los Angeles, a potential influence in their style choice.
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. The popularity of punk in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. The God Awfuls' songs are typical punk rock, but they have considerably catchy choruses.[1] The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to "true" punks, due to attitudes towards "fake punk" all over the place.
Their debut album, Next Stop Armageddon and one such song, Watch It Fall, is featured on the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.[2] It was produced by The Greedy Bros. (a.k.a. Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves and engineering partner-in-crime Brad Cook). The God Awfuls took a hiatus until about 2007/2008 when they were featured in the documentary "Punks Not Dead". In July 2008, The God Awfuls released 3 new songs on a demo.
On October 28, 2008, The God Awfuls announced on their MySpace page they would be changing their name to Brand New War.[3]
