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]]. == Current members == * [[Martin Sorrondeguy]] * Scott Moore * Andrew Martini * Paul Henry ==Discography== ===Albums=== *''Don't Knock It Till You Try It'' – Self released demo *''Limp Wrist'' – On [[Lengua Armada Discos]] in US, [[La Vida Es Un Mus]] in Europe LP/CD *''Limp Wrist - The Official Discography'' – [[Cheap-Art Records]] CD ===Singles=== *"What's Up With The Kids", [[Paralogy Records]] *"Split", 7" split singles with [[Knifed]] *"Want Us Dead". 7" split release by Cheap-Art and Lengua Armada, May 2006 ===Compilations=== *''Perversos Desviados 7" compilation on Sebo Registres fonomagnetiques (Argentina), 2000 *''Histeria'' – Lengua Armada compilation LP *''Mein Comp'', Youth Attack, 7" compilation *''Barbaric Thrash Demolition II'', 625 Records, 7" compilation *''Public Safety'', LP/CD [[Maximum RockNRoll]], 2006 ==See also== *[[List of hardcore punk bands]] ==External links== *[http://www.sfbg.com/39/15/art_music_limpwrist.html Limp Wrist in SF] *[http://www.myspace.com/limpwrist Limp Wrist on Myspace] [[Category:2000s music groups]] [[Category:American hardcore punk musical groups]] [[Category:LGBT musical groups]] [[Category:Queercore groups]] [[Category:Straight edge groups]]
