Habeas Corpus was a hardcore punk band that emerged from the Nardcore (Oxnard, California Hardcore) scene in the early 1980s. One of the region's first straight edge bands, Habeas Corpus combined Misfits-style horror punk with the early 80s Southern California surf/skate sound. The bands' song Steal You Blind was featured on Mystic Records' Nardcore compilation documenting the early Oxnard punk scene. They also appeared on Mystic's Party Animal compilation, and released a 5 song e.p. The band toured regularly with Agression, and shared the same drummer.
