Biography

With the aggressive presence of Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Agent Orange combined with the speed and agility of Pennywise and Bad Religion, 98 Mute contributed another chapter to the Hermosa Beach, CA punk rock history book upon their 1994 formation. With melodic undertones accompanying their break neck speed and personal lyrics, Theologian Records took recognition within two years of their first show and released their self-titled first album in 1996. Following a tour with the likes of Blink-182 and Pennywise in 1997, Jason (guitar), Doug (bass), Justin (drums) and Pat (singer) found their band contributing to various California punk compilations and skate videos; including 1997's Good Times and the soundtrack for The Show. By 1998, 98 Mute continued their relationship with Theologian Records and followed through with their second album, Class of 98. Slow Motion Riot followed in mid-2000. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide

98 Mute was a hardcore punk band from Hermosa Beach, California. They were formed in 1993, and signed to Theologian Records in 1995. Their first, self-titled album was released in 1996, and the band was featured on several skate videos and compilations of Californian punk. In 1997, the group toured with Blink-182 and Pennywise.[1] A second album on Theologian followed in 1998 before the group was picked up by Epitaph Records. They released two albums on Epitaph before breaking up in September 2002, shortly after the release of their fourth full-length, After the Fall.[2]

Justin Thirsk is brother to founding member of Pennywise, Jason Thirsk, who committed suicide at the age of 28 in 1996, also a Epitaph Records artist.

Justin Thirsk is vocalist and drummer for CHAOS DELIVERY MACHINE which features Jason Page on guitar and Fletcher Dragge on bass guitar and background vocals. Their first album is "Manifesto" and was released on Felony Records in 2008.
