Rich Kids on LSD

Rich Kids on LSD (RKL) is an American hardcore punk band formed in 1982 in Montecito, California, a suburb of Santa Barbara. Closely associated with the nardcore scene that developed in nearby Oxnard, RKL's music evolved from fast, raw hardcore into a technically skilled blend of punk, rock, and metal influences. Their musicianship and energetic live shows earned them a strong following, particularly among European skaters during the 1980s and 1990s. Guitarist Chris Rest remained the band's only consistent member throughout its various lineups.
