Plague Vendor

Plague Vendor is an American punk rock band formed in 2008 in Whittier, California. The band's punk rock style incorporates elements of post-punk, and post-hardcore. Plague Vendor was formed in 2008, originating from a shared passion for punk rock among its members. Growing up in Whittier, a conservative exurb, they were inspired by the punk scenes of Los Angeles and other areas.
