Sloppy Seconds is an American, Ramones-influenced punk band sometimes referred to as a junk rock band from Indianapolis, Indiana, that started in 1984. They gained notoriety in the underground punk scene with gritty and controversial songs encompassing lyrics about pornography, classic horror movies, classic television shows, comic books, alcohol, being fat, and getting drunk.
The debut album Destroyed was a play on Destroyer, a 1976 platinum album by stadium rockers KISS, released in 1989 featuring parody artwork by Mike Kreffel. A series of three 7-inches singles followed with the anthemic "I Don't Wanna Be a Homosexual" and their paean to underaged porn queen Traci Lords, "Come Back Traci."
Sloppy Seconds hosted a yearly festival called Sloppypalooza in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2008, the group returned after a long hiatus, releasing Endless Bummer, their first full-length in ten years. Destroyed was reissued on Kid Tested Records, and in 2010, Sloppy Seconds toured in support of its 20th anniversary
