They began their career in 1991, cutting their first 7" record later that year with the lineup of Joey Vindictive (vocals), Johnny Personality (bass), Billy Blastoff (guitar), Dr. Bob (guitar), P.J. Parti (drums) and Erik Elsewhere (drums). The band would end up releasing 12 albums until July of 1996, when Joey Vindictive revealed that his health issues would prevent the band from going on. Luckily for him, he overcame his ailments to re-form the band in 2000, cutting a new album and overseeing the re-release of a significant part of their catalog. Dr. Bob died in 2003 due to a heroin overdose. Their song "The Invisible Man" was featured in the Ubisoft game Watch Dogs, where it attracted attention to restart the band once more in 2013, releasing a new EP titled Mono-Flexi, and to remaster most of their previous songs as Songbooks coming in volumes starting from I to III.

The Vindictives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worked me over 50 ways but she wasn't even perspiring if I miss work for three more days I know that I'm gonna get fired, plotting probing my rear opening while lubricating her strap-on faced down working up the nerve to ask her home to meet my mom. i had no one, I had nothing so lonely all of the time, now I've got me a nympho-girl to be my valentine. She's and angel, she's a demon, extra-extraordinary wonder when she'll call me back gonna ask her if she wants to get married
The song "1-900-ILU-VYOU" by The Vindictives contains highly explicit and disturbing lyrics. The song is about a man who calls a 900 number, which is typically a line that people call to talk to strangers anonymously and for a fee. However, when the girl he spoke to arrived at his place, she forced him down, worked him up, and tied him down. She then proceeds to cram her panties in his mouth and hump her genitalia on his face, smudging her genital fluids on his nose. The man is bewildered and disoriented, asking her what she wants for dinner. The sexual activities intensify as the girl probes his rectum with lubrication and a strap-on, and the man works up the nerve to ask her home to meet his mom. The final verse of the song describes the man's newfound loneliness and how he has welcomed this sexually aggressive woman into his life as his valentine, highlighting how this behaviour may stem from a feeling of isolation and lack of emotional connection with others.
The song is a commentary on the nature of sexual relationships and the power dynamics that can be at play. It is a provocative and intentionally uncomfortable song, designed to push boundaries and shock listeners. The lyrics are also an example of objectification, where the woman is portrayed as a sexually aggressive predator who preys on a weaker man, perpetuating gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity. The song has been deemed controversial and problematic by many, and may not be suitable for all audiences.
