The God Awfuls are a punk rock/street punk/L.A. Punk band from Los Angeles and are currently signed to Kung-Fu Records.

The God Awfuls emerged out of a rather desolate and/or uncultured section of LA, a potential influence in their style choice.

Floating around between high school bands, singer/guitarist Kevin De Franco and bassist Kyle Lumsden eventually crossed paths and formed the base of The God Awfuls. A few random band members passed through before the groundwork solidified with guitarist Chris La Fave and drummer John Skelly. Luckily, the popularity of punk rock in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. God Awfuls songs are typical punk rock, but they have considerably catchy choruses. The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to "true" punks, due to attitudes towards "fake punk" all over the place.

Their debut album Next Stop Armageddon showcases punkrock, and one such song, Watch It Fall, is featured on the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. It was produced by The Greedy Bros. (a.k.a. Blag of The Dwarves and engineering partner-in-crime Brad Cook).
