The Mormons are an American punk rock band formed in 1998 in Los Angeles. The band's influences include Devo, Minor Threat, Screeching Weasel, Bad Brains and Talking Heads. Although no band members are members of the LDS Church, they wear outfits inspired by Mormon missionaries: bicycle helmets, backpacks, stud belts, Dickies, scatterings of facial hair and thrift store ties.
The Mormons have been featured in The Salt Lake Tribune[1] and L.A. Alternative.[2] They have received a write-up in BYU NewsNet.[3]
The current band lineup consists of Patrick Jones (vocals), Vince O'Campo (guitar, vocals), Pete Tintle (guitar), Johnny Ramirez (Bass), and Tim Neumann (Drums).
