Exterminator! was a noise punk band in the monotonous, heavily distorted style of Flipper, Kilsug and Stickmen with Rayguns. Featuring members of Influence, Total Ruin and Meth Drinker, the three-piece only played live a couple of times but were still able to release the 9-track album, “You Need the Service?” in late 2022.

Taking inspiration from American writer William S. Burroughs, who worked as a bug exterminator in the 1950’s, their music takes on the hallucinatory opioid haze of the Beat writers work. “You Need The Service?“ features nine tracks of toxic noise that drench the listener in waves of distorted fuzz sprayed over a monotonous beat spiralling out to the hypnotic 15-minute long “Dipteran Turbulence“. Not for the faint hearted.
