Inspired by their love for beer, classic punk rock, and cheesy '80's horror movies, Quincy Punx were founded in 1990 by Bob Wood - Guitar, Dave DePriest - Vocals/Lyrics, and Mike Robertson - Drums/Vocals in St. Paul, Minnesota.

But We Play Them On T.V., a 23 song L.P. which featured a cover of G.G. Allin's "Don't Talk To Me" in 1993. The bands first tours began shortly afterward. By 1995 the band began recording at Amphetamine Reptile studios for the material that would end up as 1995's "Stuck on Stupid" 10" e.p. on Recess, and split 7"'s with Blanks 77, Resin Scraper, and the Rejects, as well as the song "Sick Pleasure" for Half-Mast/The Daggers Records compilation "No Slow, All Go!" featuring a shit-load of Twin Cities b
