Cheap Sex was forged out of a need for real, socially aware punk in the San Diego scene. With an outbreak of pop-punk and emo the scene seemed void of any punk with a hardcore/street/77 influence.

Already Cheap Sex has shared the stage with some of the biggest acts of today and yesterday, such acts are. 999, Slaughter and The Dogs, Lower Class Brats, English Dogs, The Feederz, Agent Orange, Defiance, and Icons of Filth to name a few.
With a summer tour entitled “Sex, Brats, and Rock ‘N’ Roll” Cheap Sex will hit the road with, label mates, the Lower Class Brats. This three-week tour will include many East Coast dates starting with the legendary CBGB UMFUG, and continuing down to Florida and back across through Texas.
Members in this band have been in some of the top acts in punk. The singer Mike Virus was a founding member, and original vocalist of the Philly outfit The Virus. Johnny O was in many bands including The Worthless and The Heartaches (USA). Two of the members, Gabe Skunt and Chris Blitz, were in the band P.B.R. and the Blackout Sluts.
