This Site was created by the singer of the band The Culprits DC (also operated as FUZZY SQUIRREL NUTS). We aren't geeks, if you don't like the site, get lost. This site was initially just to disseminate (big words for a punk, huh?) info on the band but since Acmecity left us in a lurch on several pages, we took this one & most of our other websites which can now likely be found on 1 of these custom pages you can click to on the left hand side.

The Culprits DC (also operated as FUZZY SQUIRREL NUTS) were/are a Washington DC based streetpunk/noise band formed out of the wreckage of a few DC area bands. The whole purpose of the band was to stand in defiance to the apathy of the rest of the scene in regards to straight forward skinhead rock n roll and anything resembling punk. If bands like 4Skins, Cockney Rejects (pick up the Greatest Hits Vol 4 -not the live SHARP Lp either-), SHAM69 (hell, even Outside the Warehouse), US Chaos, The Madhatters, Angelic Upstarts (great band up til 1987 or so, fuck their recent communist propagandizing bullshit & bullying tactics on bands like Section5) or Discharge (yes, even Grave New World era) get your blood rushing, then you need to take a closer look at our band.
The band started out as a no nonsense high energy punk rock outfit in the spring of 2000. One listen to our cut on the FULL FORCE ATTAK compilation will show we were really right up there in doling out the aural punishment at the time. Alcohol, laziness, work schedules, lack ofcars and more brought the project to a halt at the end of the summer of 2000...the band came back in a altered form for the summer of 2001 & like most bands, NO ONE GAVE A SHIT & NO ONE GAVE A SHIT WHO WAS IN IT! LEAST OF ALL THE MEMBERS THEMSELVES. SUFFICE TO SAY...THE BAND HAS GONE BACK INTO HIBERNATION (well sort of, read on!).

Here's some lyrics to tie you over til we do something else...

I'M DISGUSTED (words: Sean 1995 or so)
I'll never come to grips with the anger in my head
I'll never forget the humiliation i endured
If i catch you on my turf, I'll do more than call you names
There will be sticks & stones in my games
verse: I'm disgusted
I'm back & i'm pissed & i wanna see you dead,
i wanna break your nose on your pretty little head,
think you're so smart on the internet,
let's catch up in person, i'll be your ass you bet

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. YOU WANNA BORROW FROM US, ASK FIRST. THIS AINT NO ROCKSTAR B.S. BUT THEN AGAIN, WE AINT DOING THIS FOR SOME PUNK TO COME ALONG & RIP IT OFF!

THE STORY OF THE CULPRITS DC.

First off, the band is now on hiatus currently.

Five summers ago (2000), the internationally beloved Seanster put together the first line-up with a handful of material that was never fully cemented properly. A lack of common sense allowed the band to plug along for a few months with no common goal. Members came and went, some recordings got done - which ended up on 2 different compilations.

We debuted (if you wanna call it that) on August 7th, 2000 @ the Velvet Lounge in DC with The Screwz. The show was pretty fucking weak as all the band members bailed b4 the show, leaving mastermind Sean to recruit session guitarist AIDZ (who returned to the band in 2001) & engineer Steve of Left to Right Sound filling in on drums at the very last minute. Suffice to say, as stated, it sucked more than even we expected, exacerbated by a shit job on the sound reinforcement end. Nonethess, the show went on. Sean played bass on everything except the GG ALLIN cover which our good friend John Acosta learned that nite. Only Chameleon by Herbie Hancock was somewhat respectable!

Anyone want a link to our site, just clue me in, these numb nutz at freeservers give us about 5 OFFICIAL spots for links, but we figured out code so we can link to other sites without their help!
Just hook me up via email to the info on your site and next time we are geeking, we'll make updates to connect the youth to your critical URL information.

...So what is all this nonsense about a new version of the band?


Be aware...Sean is at the helm of the reformulated THE SUSPECTS (yes, the 90s DC band). That does not mean the Culprits/Fuzzy Squirrel Nuts will not rear their head again, in fact, reunion recordings are being discussed w/some ex-members currently. Either way, you will see Sean gigging out quite a bit in another band w/other musicians & a vastly different set. On August 27, 2001, we (The Suspects dc) gigged with KickFlip & The Last Sunrise in a house in Fredericksburg. On Nov 29th, 2001 we played with GRAVES featuring guys who played with the Misfits during the GEFFEN Years. 2002 saw 3 of the former members play on bills w/25 ta Life, Clit45, Defiance, A Global Threat & many more in towns from Fairmont WV to Providence, RI as well as release a CD reprising the classic GUINNESS SUCKS with new words (retitled OUR BAND RULES). 9 shows were completed in 5 european countries w/Portugal's Mata-Ratos in November 2002 & the band crossed the atlantic again in 2003 hitting the UK touring behind "Courtesy Flush Vol. 1". 2006 is bringing a new studio session featuring a cut Sean initially used in the Culprits dc called KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT BUDDY, a ode to "skins" who abandoned the scene 20 years ago & want back in.
