Referring to their style of hardcore punk music, the band declared in Frontiers Newsmagazine, “We put the ‘core’ back in homocore”. Their first recording was the self-released demo Don't Knock It Till You Try It. This was followed by a single called “What’s Up With The Kids” and then the self-titled LP Limp Wrist. However, since band members lived in different states maintaining the group became difficult. After an interlude they resumed touring in 2004 and self-released a new CD, Thee Official Discography the same year. The song “Ode” from this recording pays tribute to pioneering gay hardcore musicians Gary Floyd of The Dicks, Randy “Biscuit” Turner of Big Boys and Joshua Plague of Mukilteo Fairies and Behead The Prophet, No Lord Shall Live, providing a historical context for Limp Wrist.

The band’s best known song is “I Love Hardcore Boys, I Love Boys Hardcore”, which received much attention from fans and press alike. Lead singer Martin Sorrondeguy appears in "Queercore: A Punk-u-mentary" by Scott Treleaven and addresses the issue implicit in these song titles, what some might view as the apparent struggles of being both queer and being involved in the punk scene.

In 2004 Sorrondeguy released his own documentary film, "Beyond The Screams: A U.S. Latino Hardcore Punk Documentary." He had begun the film while still a member of his former band Los Crudos.

The band continues to perform and self-release records including the Want Us Dead 7" in 2006, featuring the songs Fake Fags and Want us Dead and a one-sided 12" in 2008 featuring Spun, and Bought Out.

Limp Wrist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thank you for introducing me to
Something I've never had before
A place where I can go hang out
Hang out with the boys
Where you had my back and I had yours
Went to shows arm in arm
And guess what no one ever frowned

Thank you for the records and all the fanzines
With photos of the cuties that grace our hot ass scene
But most of all thanks for the beefy cake drawings
of straight edge looking gods
it's like a Tom of Finland for teens

Pile up to sing along
Out sweaty bodies in unison
While your hands would

Slip their way to my crotch
While the band played our song

I recently took two classes totaling 14 hours. The instructor made fun of me the entire time for having a thumbs foward grip. Said it was Hollywood theatrics. Good grief....

His opinion but it is widely used as a training method by the NRA, competitors and every instructor I know including former Army Ranger, Air Force Spec Ops and even the British Royal Marines. No instructor should belittle or make fun of clients. If you are on the range with me and have a system that works I won't stop you. Trainers need to be flexible. Personally, I only use the words 'never' or 'always' when talking about safety. Perhaps that instructor was more worried about feeding his own ego than training others. It happens.

Thank you for posting this! I have an LCP II, and I've been trying to figure out why it would fail to eject every 2nd or 3rd shot. After watching this video, I went to the range and tried these techniques. It works! 30 rounds and not one single failure. I always learn best when someone explains the science and mechanics involved. All I heard before was "stop limp wristing", but the explanation and demonstration in this video made so much sense.Thank you! I really wanted to like this pistol, and was worried about it's reliability. Now I just have to keep practicing.

In cases of sudden emergency these positions are impractical. Therefore these 1911 platforms are not 100% reliable in such a cases.

Great Explanation !! Thank you!

I prefer the modified Weaver but in the real world you may not be able to be in your favored stance if the flag goes up. I like the Modified Weaver because it gives me a steady base with a 'Boxer' stance but allows me to turn my torso slightly to get full extension offered by the Isocoles stance. To each his own. Orthodoxy says right-handers go left foot forward. However, I have worked with plenty of skate-boarders and snow-boarders that have adopted a 'goofy-foot' approach and I tell them if you are comfortable with stance, then I won't try to retrain them. Do what works for you and find your own voice because one size does not fit all.

Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife approve this video! That’s a nice looking shirt by the way!

Wrong....your failure to feed was due to a weak spring. Your wrist has nothing to do with that next round chambering. You were quick to say it failed to eject when in fact it did eject so you had to cover your tracks somehow. Might want to replace the recoil spring and the rest of them while you're at it.

Happy Face

good explanation

Hmm, so the limp wrist is in the non dominant hand?

Tom Runyon

good video

JJ Racaza would disagree with pushing your arms as far away as possible. He demonstrated that the elbows should not be fully extended, but instead bent and just short before full extension to act as shock absorbers. He also shows how to grip the gun properly. He doesn't advocae the push pull method of grip where you push with your right hand and pull with your left. Anyway, all you have to do is YouTube him if you don't know who he is. That about sums it all up! People should STOP making videos if they have no fucking clue what they're talking about. It's like the Blind leading the Blind. 😁😁👍👍💯💯
