Shrapnel (American punk band)
Shrapnel was an American punk band formed in Red Bank, New Jersey[1] in the late-1970s. The group was a concept band whose members wore military uniforms onstage.[2] The band's aesthetic included glorification of war, carrying prop M16 rifles onstage, and stances criticizing earlier anti-Vietnam War sentiment:[3] " Hey, you asshole creep, I bet you were against the war."[4] The band was criticized, including labeled as "proto-fascist", for its provocative antics, with songs such as Hey Little Gook.[5]
Members of the group included future Ramones/Misfits producer Daniel Rey, as well two founding members, Dave Wyndorf and Phil Caivano, of the band Monster Magnet.[2][6]
