Chemical People

Formed in 1986, Chemical People were a melodic pop punk band who hailed from Beverly Hills and who made records for nearly 2 decades on a small, southern California record label, [l=Cruz Records] as well as their own [l=2" Pecker Records].
They released records centered around pornography, food and fun with little consideration for anything Politically correct. But with the passing of the years, the band changed considerably, a little older, a little wiser, Chemical People's roots of singing about sex, donuts, and super heroes seemed long gone. In August of 1997 they released their fifth 'proper' album to date, 'Arpeggio Motorcade'. With this album, Chemical People followed up their 1992 self-titled album with a similar, better produced sound that, with the addition of Dave's sax as well as keyboards and a slew of guest musicians, had a far less raw feel when compared to the early years. It did, however, stay true to the pop/punk sound the bands on Cruz are famous for.
The band members have since parted ways and gone on to pursue their own interests leaving a wealth of punk rock history in their wake. Ed Urlik was also a founding member of punk band Down By Law.
