Martha's Revenge, Toe Tag, Rutah, American Wrecking Co., Rasputin

If you like Northwest punk or metal, you probably like the Accüsed. They came out of the Seattle area in the early 1980s, keeping one foot firmly grounded in punk rock, the other in heavy metal. With just one original member, the band is still plugging along. But the rest of the guys still wanted to play their old songs. So what did they do? Formed Martha’s Revenge, “the Northwest’s premier Accüsed tribute band.” You read that right: the rest of the original band formed an impersonation act of their own band. That’s just genius.
