Sore Throat formed in 1987 as a crust punk, hardcore punk, and grindcore act. They are known as one of the first bands to give rise to and play in the style of "noisecore".

They were sometimes seen as a parody band and a drunk political punk band. They were also one of the first rock bands to heavily incorporate samples in their music. Crusty redirects here. ...

In 1988 they released their album Disgrace to the Corpse of Sid. A cacophony of noise that contained over-the-top guitar distortion, blast beats, screams, grunts, and a myriad of sound samples.
