Provoked is an American female-fronted, black metal-influenced d-beat crust punk band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Spawned by a night of drunken banter and fueled ever since by booze and shit-talking, Provoked has been stinking up cities around the world for about 6 years now. With Leffer, Lutz and Joe already in place, Grant moved from Seattle to join the bunch of mad heads that initially featured Dan on vocals (who left for daddy duties) then picking up and chugging along with the Texas Bitch, Scaba, doing vox.
In that time, the band recorded a 7" split with Path of Destruction and eventually being picked up by Profane Existence and recording the first full-length LP "Infant in the Womb of Warfare". Two tours took place in those years, one east coast and one European. Sometime later, Scaba moved to Germany to pursue her dream of being a chef at a vegan restaurant (which is now a reality!) and Kerri stumbled into the spot. With the veterans still ready to rage on and Kerri being completely new to doing vocals, we worked our tits and balls off spending many drunken nights at practice to produce the 2nd full-length "Prepare for the Cold". A six-week European tour followed in the summer of 2005. A third LP is currently in the works and they "have many tour plans in mind."
