History

Clit 45 formed in 1996 and embraced a classic punk style influenced by the Adolescents, Poison Idea, and Bad Religion. Their second and third albums were published by BYO Records and distributed in Europe by Cargo Records. The band toured with groups such as the Casualties, the Briefs, New Mexican Disaster Squad, Complete Control, the Riffs, the Krays, Defiance, Dropkick Murphys, the Virus, the Unseen, Bad Religion, and A Global Threat.

Their last show was held in Portland, Oregon in October 2006. After a yearlong hiatus, Clit 45 officially disbanded on Christmas Day 2007 via their MySpace page. In later years, the band performed occasional live shows between 2011 and 2019, and in 2019 they announced onstage in Oklahoma that they would never play live again.
