How did you pick the band name?

One of our members works for ***CENSORED***, and the other 2 work for oil companies, so it seemed appropriate, 2 Polluters and ***CENSORED***. For some twisted reason, we all liked the sound of The Polluters. Our motto is "The Polluters - Offensive On So Many Levels" or "The Polluters - Let Us Open For Your Band, We'll Make You Sound Good By Comparison".

How would your define your sound?

Buck Owens being gang raped by White Zombie, Motorhead, and Link Wray...

Describe your creative process for writing and composing music? )

Typically, we find a cover song we all like, we change it just enough so we can't be sued, and Voila! Instant song... Just kidding... We actually go through the same laborious crap that all the other bands go through....

If you guys were to play with another band, which would it be?

All the bands we like are either dead or broken up! Turn back the calendar 20 years and we would be playing with The Ramones, Link Wray, White Zombie, possibly even ABBA...

Where / how often / how do you guys practice?

We brutalize our bass player's neighbors once a week, sometimes more often if we have a gig coming up...

Finally, why do men have nipples?

Why indeed? Men have nipples (especially Rick) to give other guy's girlfriends something to hang on to while we slide them around the bedroom like a hockey puck on ice....
