The Independents are an American horror-punk/ska band formed in Florence, South Carolina in 1992 by Evil Presly and Willy B.
In October 1995, Rockduster Records released the band's debut album In for the Kill.
In 1998, Ramone served as executive producer on their EP Unholy Living Dead.
Willy B broke his arm in several places and the remaining dates were cancelled, but they returned in 2007 for a full European tour.
They have also played select shows in the US with bands The Misfits, Flogging Molly, Blink 182, Cheap Trick and Mustard Plug.
