Naked Violence a hardcore punk from Portland, Oregon, created by Frankie Violence and Mark Rhemrev in 1991. They brought back the rebellious feel and the aggressiveness lost by the grunge and alternative music movement. Inspired by the lyrics of such bands as The Dwarves and Black Flag. Playing songs that were easily offensive in Portland and received a lot of bad press that never mentioned the music. Jumping on tours with such bands as The Mentors, Nashville Pussy, Gas Huffer, Dayglo Abortions, D.R.I. and G.G. Allin in his last appearance in the northwest. As Jeff "Filthy" Thomas joined to be the first second guitarist, Mark Rhemrev left the band to join The Weaklings. The band parted ways in 2004.
