Dog Park Dissidents was founded in 2017 by vocalist Zac Xeper and guitarist Jon Greco on Long Island, New York, where they recorded the band's first song "Queer As In Fuck You" for a planned anti-Trump sampler compilation.
[1] After the viral success of this first single, Xeper and Greco went on to produce and self-release the 2018 EP Sexual and Violent, featuring a remastered and lyrically altered version of "Queer" along three other new songs.
Along with the release of ACAB For Cutie, the band announced[7] they had signed to Say-10 Records, with a planned album-length re-release of their 3 EPs remixed by We Are the Union's Reade Wolcott and remastered by Jack Shirley.
[11] In September, 2022, the band gained notoriety after a planned outdoor show with Pansy Division was shut down by police due to permitting issues.
Xander, acting as event coordinator, alleged that the Southern Decadence show was cut short right as Dog Park Dissidents were supposed to begin playing, after the New Orleans City Constable threatened them and Xeper with arrest.
