The Peppermint Creeps started life as a four-piece band. Made up of a half Canadian half American line-up; Kari Ash and Macy Malone coming from Canada, Traci Michaelz and then vocalist Billi Foxxx coming from America. Together they recorded some demo tracks and forged early sketches of what would later become their trademark image.
Soon after Billi left the group, the band continued on as a 3 piece. The Peppermint Creeps then recorded a studio E.P. produced by Phil Soussan and Randy Castillo called "CreE.P.show". The band claimed, "It was done in 5 days and cost $2,000.00 to record"
In 2001, Peppermint Creeps expanded from a three-piece band, to a four piece, for the first time since their beginnings, bringing in Arizona guitarist Eddie Electra. The group regularly played "Club Paranormal" a Night Club at the Key Club in Hollywood, which was ran by the band's drummer; Traci Michaelz.
The Peppermint Creeps recorded their first full length album; Animatron X in 2003. They then launched their first full tour of the United States, extending their fan base beyond the Hollywood clubs they originally only played.
Bassist Kari Ash would be the second member of the band to leave, before the group recorded a promotional video, for their song "Lesbian", the video featured the band in their Club Paranormal haunt, along with computer graphics, of the band in a candy world, similar to that seen in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, black haired bassist Andii Stittch was part of the video in place of Ash. Stittch would not be in the band for long, leaving shortly after the group played a show with fellow Glam metal band, the Murderdolls in Hollywood.
The remaining Peppermint Creeps for a time became the backing band for long-time supporter Steve "Sex" Summers, in the band Pretty Boy Floyd, Electra took on bass duties, while Malone filled the guitar position and Michaelz played drums.
From a local Hollywood band "BlaQ!" the Creeps found their newest member; teen guitarist Robbie Stylez was brought in, Electra switched to bass for the Peppermint Creeps, as he had been playing in that position for Pretty Boy Floyd.
The band gained further attention due to their MySpace profile, becoming the website's number 1 Glam band. In 2005, they released their second album, "We Are the Weirdos". They also recorded another promotional video with the most recent line-up, for a song off their first album, "Stupid". Another recent change occurred, when teenage guitarist Robbie Styles left the band in summer of 2006, the group went on a US tour as a three-piece once again.
During August 2006 the Peppermint Creeps had a very public feud which spread over MySpace, and several music media websites. The fall-out which caused the public feud, was reportedly between vocalist/guitarist Macy Malone and bassist Eddie Electra, with drummer Traci Michaelz choosing to take Malone's side in the debate. Thus Electra quit the band.
After Electra quit the Peppermint Creeps, the debate continued on the popular website MySpace, both parties were embroiled in blog and bulletin wars. With Electra claiming the Peppermint Creeps had split up, and that he was planning to create his own project under the band's name.
Founding members Malone and Michaelz however, denied the split insisting that the Peppermint Creeps will be carrying on, and that they would announce the new members of the band with the unveiling of a new website on September 15, 2006.
Eddie Electra has announced that he will be pursuing a solo career, stating; "I think I'm gonna like this whole solo shit, it's very freeing I have some great musicians behind me to work with and the music I'm gonna drop".
On September 15, 2006, as planned the band unveiled two new members, this saw the Peppermint Creeps returning to a four piece band; Robbie Stylez returned to the band on guitar, and a new member Billy Blade was brought in on bass, replacing Eddie Electra.
With the new members also came a darker image change, some of the elements were similar to bands who played at the Batcave club in London during the 1980s with; fishnets, teased hair, heavy make-up and in Macy Malone's case a mohawk. Unlike their previous image where the band each had a designated colour, the new line-up dress in black with luminous green accessories; they did however keep some of the red in their hair.
Robbie Stylez Recently Left The Band A Second Time.
On The 13th Of June, 2008, Traci Michaelz Passed Away,
Leaving the Peppermint Creeps a 2 Piece Band.
Fuck Off and Die
Peppermint Creeps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not very nice 'cause you made me cry
You're not very nice and I don't wanna see you
So why don't you just fuck off and die
Once I used to say "I love you"
What a fuckin' joke you bitch
I thought you loved me too
If I had a dime for every dick you sucked I'd be a millionaire
Makes me so damn fuckin' sick
To have thought you'd ever care
I gave you my heart, I gave you my trust
I even got down on my knees
I even gave you my keys
I gave you all I ever had, I gave you everything
But guess what bitch
I never really loved you
You're not very nice and I don't think I like you
You're not very nice 'cause you made me cry
You're not very nice and I don't wanna see you
So why don't you just fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Why? 'Cause I caught you with another guy
Now I can finally say "I'm over you" Besides you weren't worth half the shit You fuckin' put me through
My friends said I was pussy-whipped
But I was just naive
Best thing that I ever did was
Turn around and leave
I gave you my heart, I gave you my trust
I even got down on my knees
I even gave you my keys
I gave you all I ever had, I gave you everything
But guess what bitch
I never really loved you
You're not very nice and I don't think I like you
You're not very nice 'cause you made me cry
You're not very nice and I don't wanna see you
So why don't you just fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Why? 'Cause I caught you with another guy
Why?
Bitch
Ha ha
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
Fuck off and die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Fuck off and die
The song "Fuck Off and Die" by Peppermint Creeps is a fast-paced punk rock song composed of three verses that talk about a failed relationship. The song starts with the singer accusing their former partner of being "not very nice" because they made them cry. The chorus then emphatically asks them to "Fuck off and die," indicating the singer's utter disdain for the person who caused them so much pain. In the second verse, the singer laments about being foolish enough to have given their heart, trust, and everything to the partner who turned out to be unfaithful. The final verse talks about the singer finally getting over the relationship and acknowledging that their former partner was not worth the trouble.
The song's lyrics convey a strong sentiment of anger and bitterness, and it implicitly criticizes infidelity and betrayal in a relationship. The song's title itself is a powerful statement of rejection and insult, making it an ideal choice for anyone who has suffered a bad breakup. Moreover, the use of aggressive and insulting language throughout the song adds to its overall punk rock aesthetic and enhances the message of the song. Peppermint Creeps delivers the song with raw energy, and the rhythm guitars and drum beats provide a powerful and head-banging backdrop to the lyrics.

You're not very nice and I don't think i like you
I don't like you because you're rude and unfriendly
You're not very nice 'cause you made me cry
You hurt my feelings and made me cry, which is not nice
You're not very nice and I don't wanna see you
I don't want to see you because you're unpleasant and mean
So why don't you just fuck off and die
I wish you would go away and never come back again
Once I used to say "I love you"
I used to tell you that I loved you
What a fuckin' joke you bitch
But now I realize that was a mistake, you horrible person
I thought you loved me too
I believed that you loved me as well
If I had a dime for every dick you sucked I'd be a millionaire
You've been unfaithful to me with many other men
Makes me so damn fuckin' sick
This makes me very upset and disgusted
To have thought you'd ever care
I was foolish to believe that you would ever care about me
I gave you my heart, I gave you my trust
I trusted you and gave you my love and commitment
I even got down on my knees
I begged and pleaded with you
I even gave you my keys
I allowed you access to my personal belongings and space
I gave you all I ever had, I gave you everything
I gave you my all, everything that I had to offer
But guess what bitch
But the truth is
I never really loved you
I never truly loved you
Why? 'Cause I caught you with another guy
I caught you being unfaithful with another man
Now I can finally say "I'm over you"
I can finally say that I have moved on from you
Besides you weren't worth half the shit
In fact, you were not even worth half of what I sacrificed for you
You fuckin' put me through
The pain and suffering you caused me
My friends said I was pussy-whipped
My friends believe that I was too submissive to you
But I was just naive
But the truth is, I was just inexperienced and foolish
Best thing that I ever did was
The best decision I ever made
Turn around and leave
Was to walk away from you and never look back
Why?
Why did you do this to me?
Bitch
You are a horrible person
Ha ha
I'm laughing at how pathetic you are
Fuck off and die
Go away and never come back, I wish you were dead
Fuck off and die, die, die, die, die, die, die
I really mean it, I wish you would just disappear forever

Dumb statement unless you have more evidence that the 90's had a legit glam punk scene..........which it didnt.

Unfortunately and tragically I somehow missed out on this band . I accidently found them and this song in particular while looking up another band . Just call it a Happy Accident . I gotta say , I instantly LOVED this song and took to this band right away . I went on a tear and looked up all the video , music and info that I could find . In short , I'm a fan . A little late to the Peppermint Creeps party but a fan none the less . I get the feeling they would have been HUGE in the '80's !

pretty cool song, i personally dont like when punk sounds the same, and tragically it all tends to, but this one was a bit different, still has that Green Day vibe before they sold out. good job bros!
