Aus-Rotten was an American crust punk band formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Active from 1991 to 2001, its members practiced and promoted a philosophy of anarchist politics. The band included lead vocalist Dave Trenga, vocalist/guitarist Eric Good, bassist Corey Lyons, and drummer Matt Garabedian. Spitboy singer Adrienne Droogas would often join the band in their later material. The band’s 1994 Fuck Nazi Sympathy 7" sold 25,000 copies, making it Havoc Records’ best-selling release. Fuck Nazi Sympathy topped a list of bestselling D.I.Y. Punk record label releases compiled in 2008 Aus-Rotten went on a hiatus in the mid-‘90s and during that time Dave formed Human Investment with Andy of Anti-Flag and Corey and Eric formed Doomsday Parade. Aus-Rotten broke up for good in early 2001 and members have gone on to form Caustic Christ and Behind Enemy Lines. On August 18, 2019 Aus-Rotten performed a few songs at Skull Fest 11 in Pittsburgh. The band’s name comes from the German verb "ausrotten", which translates to “exterminate” or “eradicate”.
