rdf:langString Ill Repute is an American hardcore punk band from Oxnard, California, United States, formed in 1981. They are noted for popularizing the "Nardcore" sound in the mid-1980s hardcore punk scene, and recorded for Mystic Records. Their record What Happens Next? (What Happened Then? on CD) holds high status in hardcore circles. It is notable for its cover of the 1970s pop music hit "Cherokee Nation". The band broke up in July 2004 after a short tour of Hawaii with the Oahu band 8mm Overdose. Ill Repute briefly reformed again (minus founding guitarist Tony Cortez) to tour Hawaii in 2006 again with 8mm Overdose. The lead guitarist, Tony Cortez (original band member) is considered the "Mayor of Nardcore." Ill Repute has reformed with original members, (except Carl Valdez replaced by Chuck Shultz) they played one show in Ventura, CA on December 16 which they claimed was to be their last show, but have since reformed. Before a standing room only crowd in the City Council Chambers of Port Hueneme, Ill Repute was presented a Proclamation from then Mayor Jonathan Sharkey on April 7, 2014, for "their revolutionary musical talent". Later in 2014, they were inducted into the Ventura County Music Awards Hall of Fame. The documentary DVD/book, Clean Cut American Kids - the Story of Ill Repute, was also released in 2014 by True Underground Network Publishing in association with Firehook Entertainment and Canadian Bacon Films.
