'''Limp Wrist''' is an all-[[gay]] [[hardcore punk]] band featuring members of [[Los Crudos]], [[Hail Mary (punk band)|Hail Mary]], [[Devoid of Faith]], and [[Kill the Man Who Questions]].
Referring to their style of hardcore punk music, the band declared in ''Frontiers'' newsmagazine, "We put the ‘core’ back in [[Queercore]]". Their first recording was the self released demo ''Don't Knock It Till You Try It''. This was followed by a single called "What’s Up With The Kids" and then the self-titled LP ''Limp Wrist''. However, since band members lived in different states maintaining the group became difficult. After an interlude they resumed touring in 2004 and released a new CD, ''Complete Discography'' the same year. The song "Ode" from this recording pays tribute to pioneering gay hardcore musicians [[Gary Floyd]] of [[The Dicks]], [[Randy Turner]] of [[Big Boys (band)|Big Boys]] and [[Joshua Plague]] of [[Joshua_Plague#Mukilteo_Fairies|Mukilteo Fairies]] and [[Joshua_Plague#Behead_the_Prophet.2C_No_Lord_Shall_Live|Behead the Prophet, No Lord Shall Live]], providing a historical context for Limp Wrist.
The band’s best known song was "I Love Hardcore Boys, I Love Boys Hardcore", which received much attention from fans and press alike. Lead singer Martin Sorrondeguy appears in ''Queercore: A Punk-u-mentary'' by [[Scott Treleaven]] and addresses the issue implicit in these song titles.
In 2002, ''[[Maximum RockNRoll]]'' featured [[Martin Sorrondeguy]] in its "QueerPunk" issue, in discussion with Gary Fembot and Iraya Robles of [[Sta-Prest (band)|Sta-Prest]], and [[Aaron Detroit]] of [[The Little Deaths]].
In 2004 Sorrondeguy released his own documentary film, ''[[Beyond The Screams: A U.S. Latino Hardcore Punk Documentary]]''. He had begun the film while still a member of his former band [[Los Crudos]].
In 2006, Limp Wrist released the split label 7", "Want Us Dead" on Cheap Art/[[Lengua Armada Discos|Lengua Armada]].
