Pegboy is an American punk band from Chicago, Illinois with a relatively large cult following.

Both Damore and Saylors had been members of the Chicago-based hardcore band Bhopal Stiffs, whose 1987 demo had been produced by John Haggerty.

Steve Albini, a longtime friend of the band, filled the bass slot on the "Fore" EP.

Former Naked Raygun bassist Pierre Kezdy became the permanent bass player in 1994.

[citation needed] Rise Against's Tim McIlrath,[4] Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba,[5] as well as Hot Water Music's Chuck Ragan and Shai Hulud's Matt Fox are big Pegboy fans.
