The Expendables have been bringing their perspective to the world of reggae-rock for nearly 25 years, starting as a spirited party band in high school covering surf-rock nuggets such as Dick Dale’s “Miserloo” and “Wipe Out” for birthdays and family gatherings. A quarter-century later, elementary school buddies Raul Bianchi, Adam Peterson, and Geoff Weers, along with bassist Ryan DeMars have forged a unique original sound born in the laid-back beach life of their Santa Cruz, CA. hometown.

Their infectious hybrid of ska, surf-rock, punk, reggae and metal creates the sound of a spaghetti-western meets “Pipeline” twang that could easily form the soundtrack to the latest Quentin Tarantino film. Instead of following the traditional cookie-cutter blend, The Expendables have perfected their own unique approach of face-melting solos, mind-bending jams, and danceable grooves, blurring the lines of where one genre ends and another begins.
