Wckr Spgt formed in 1981 in Claremont, California, part of an early movement focused primarily on experimental home recording that eventually evolved into lo-fi and indie rock. The band consists of Joel Huschle , Mark Givens , and Dave Carpenter and, over the years, a plethora of guest musicians and artists, notably John Darnielle ( The Mountain Goats ), Ian Carlson ( The Desperation Squad ), and the members of Nothing Painted Blue ( Franklin Bruno , Kyle Brodie , and Peter Hughes ).
Early audio cassettes were distributed throughout the Pomona Valley primarily in independent record stores like Toxic Shock in Pomona and Rhino Records in Claremont. In the 1990s the influential independent record label Shrimper distributed Wckr Spgt recordings including 1997's Everybody's Dead (Oh, No) .
Wckr Spgt is innovative, irreverent and absurd with a dark, insightful sense of humor and strong ties to dada and punk rock.
