Armed and Hammered is a hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario, spawned from Bunchofuckingoofs scene of the early 1980s.
Originally formed by singer Mopa Dean, the bassist for Masochistic Religion,[1] and drummer Kyle Peek, the earliest lineup also included Lamo, Philphee Saunders and Bunchofuckingoofs Thor Hammersen.
The band had played the Kumbaya Festival, which was held at the Molson Amphitheatre (now The Budweiser Stage) to benefit people living with AIDS.
In 2000, following the release of the Negative Aspects of Positive Thinking CD,[citation needed] Mark returned to the US, leaving Armed and Hammered once again with one guitarist.
Mopa formed a band called The G-Men in 2002;[16] they played at least one gig with Armed & Hammered, on November 15, 2002, at Sneaky Dee's in Toronto.
Armed and Hammered reunited to play a set in support of English group GBH's tour stop at the Mod Club Theatre in Toronto in July 2010, then reformed in May 2012.
