Molly Ringworm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Molly Ringworm is a punk rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. Their name is an obvious pun on the name of Molly Ringwald, a popular teenage actress in the 1980s. Consisting of radical artist Mike Deviant (born 1971), the band has been active since late 1987. They are noteworthy because they are generally considered the first thrash band in Kansas City. They have always existed under the radar of the establishment music press primarily due to their extreme political views.
Despite the post-9-11 political landscape, Molly Ringworm have varied little in their left-wing political views. Generally they are considered a counterpoint to the stereotypical image of rural right-wing groups, which seem to have a much greater influence in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area.
