Deadly Weapons was a band that contained 2 Bainbridge Island punk rock veterans. Justin MoCheeks of Maurices Little Bastards on drums, and Larry Rickets on guitar. A Canadian named Erin McDermott played bass, and Tina from the Bobbyteens sang vocals and rounded out the lineup. Although they were only together for about 2 years they were quite prolific. They released two 7 inch records, one split 7 inch with the Husbands, and one full length album on Jonny Cat Records. They also managed to tour Mexico City and Japan, playing with such notable bands as Guitarwolf and the 5,6,7,8's. Whatmade this band great was the combination of garage rock and punk rock. Unfortunately that is also what caused them to break up after their Japanese tour. Tina and Erin left to pursue playing garage rock. Larry continues to play punk rock in Jesus Fucking Christ. Justin left to pursue his band, the Clorox Girls.
