Ill Repute is an American hardcore punk band from Oxnard, California, formed in 1981.[2] They are noted for popularizing the "Nardcore" sound in the mid-1980s hardcore punk scene, and recorded for Mystic Records.
Their record What Happens Next? (What Happened Then? on CD) holds high status in hardcore circles.[3] It is notable for its cover of the 1970s pop music hit "Cherokee Nation".
The band broke up in July 2004[4] after a short tour of Hawaii with the Oahu band 8mm Overdose. Ill Repute briefly reformed again (minus founding guitarist Tony Cortez) to tour Hawaii in 2006 again with 8mm Overdose. The lead guitarist, Tony Cortez (original band member) is considered the "Mayor of Nardcore."[citation needed]
Ill Repute has reformed with original members, (except Carl Valdez replaced by Chuck Shultz) they played one show in Ventura, CA on December 16 which they claimed was to be their last show, but have since reformed.
