Spazz (grup musik)
Spazz adalah sebuah grup musik powerviolence yang aktif dari tahun 1992 hingga 2000. Trio ini banyak merilis album pada periode tersebut yang mana di antaranya banyak diincar oleh kolektor karena dianggap sangat langka. Musik yang mereka buat banyak menunjukan selera humor mereka yang tidak biasa: judul lagu panjang yang memuat kata-kata tidak masuk akal, sampel suara dari film kelas B, dan penggunaan instrumen yang kerap ada di beat hip hop seperti saksofon, banjo serta instrumen musik lainnya yang jarang diasosiasikan dengan musik hardcore punk. Semua anggota grup musik ini sama-sama pernah mengisi bagian vokal di musik yang mereka buat.[2] Grup musik ini biasanya tampil di tempat-tempat yang mengizinkan penonton dari semua usia untuk masuk.[3]
