Litmus Green
Litmus Green was an American hardcore punk band hailing from Southern California. They emerged in 1991 and actively played until 2002. After a hiatus from 2002 to 2009, they resumed performing until 2017. Known for their brief and energetic political-themed songs, Litmus Green made a mark in the hardcore punk scene. The band, featuring a new member, Adam V on bass, reunited in 2022.
History
The roots of Litmus Green trace back to 1991, formed from the remnants of a band called Media Children, with Rev. Sean, Ed, Rick, and Mateo (a friend/roadie) as initial members. In September 2001, Larry (from Resist & Exist) joined as a second guitarist. Litmus Green initially played what was anticipated to be their “last” show in October 2002 at the Showcase Theatre in Corona, CA, with Ron Martinez (Final Conflict, 46 Short) filling in on bass.
In 2009, the band received an invitation to reunite for a few shows, and the positive response led to their decision to continue. Nick (from Jack’s Cold Sweat and an old Litmus roadie) joined as the bassist in mid-2010. In early 2013, drummer Rick decided to retire, and Antonio Val joined as the drummer in July of the same year.
