Pissing Razors is an American groove metal band formed in El Paso, Texas in 1993. [3] Their most recent album Eulogy Death March was released in 2021.
The band was started by brothers Eddy and Danny Garcia in 1993. [3] Eddy played guitar and Danny played drums, and they were joined by singer Dave McNutt and bassist Mat Lynch. McNutt soon departed and was replaced by Joe Rodriquez. They self-released an album titled Psycho Punko Metal Groove in 1996.

Rodriguez departed in 2000 [6] and was replaced by Jason Bragg, who lasted for about one year and was replaced in turn by Andre Acosta.
