Man is the Bastard were a Powerviolence/Sludge band consisting of legendary California members Eric Wood, Joel Connell, and Aaron Kenyon - many of whom helped solidify the underground hardcore scene and paved the way for the extreme hardcore subgenre known as Powerviolence. Neanderthal being the most notable of their previous bands not only for the creation of Powerviolence, but also for the direction of Man is the Bastard in which the song "Crawl" off of Neanderthal's 1990 EP "Fighting Music " would lie the foundation for the bands sound.
