Ill Repute is a punk rock band from Oxnard, California. The lead guitarist, Tony Cortez (original band member) is considered the "Mayor of Nardcore." They released the now-classic What Happens Next? LP (CD version = What Happened Then?). They disbanded after a short tour of Hawaii with the Oahu band 8mm Overdose. Ill Repute briefly reformed again (minus founding guitarist Tony Cortez) to tour Hawaii in 2006 again with 8mm Overdose. Ill Repute has reformed with original members, (except Carl Valdez replaced by Chuck Shultz) and they played one show in Ventura, CA on Dec 16th, 2006 which they claimed was to be their last show, but have since reformed.
