I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House is an American southern rock / punk / country band from Portland, Oregon.
Lyrically the band is known for progressive political themes, speaking out against conservatives, gun rights advocates, and the Westboro Baptist Church among others, as well as for darker, country influenced songs about fear, loss, and death in modern America.
They have been lauded for their high energy live performances driven by Damron's distinctive growl and the band's dueling lead guitar and harmonica.
Borrowing the famous boast of bare knuckled boxing champion John L. Sullivan for the group's name,[3] in 2001 Damron created I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House and began performing locally in Portland.
Neilson left the band shortly after, and bassist Mole Harris joined in late 2002, finalizing the group's permanent lineup.
