The band is known for their confrontational, deconstructionist, absurd live performances, as well as their bizarre, more fleshed-out recordings.
During the group's fake break-up in 1994, Singer and Turkington formed competing spin-off bands, the Zip Code Revue and The Three Doctors Band, presumably attempts to siphon off Zip Code Rapists fans for themselves.
[1] In 1996, after a Japanese tour with Faxed Head, the Zip Code Rapists ceased performing or recording.
Gregg Turkington has since gone on to perform as the anti-comedy personality Neil Hamburger.
The Zip Code Rapists reunited for a handful of shows in California and in Canada in 2005–2006, followed by a retrospective CD release on the Eabla label in 2009.
