The Eradicator
Chicago punk act in full squash-court regalia, delivering balaclava-clad comedy hardcore built around one absurd, committed character.
The Eradicator is a Chicago punk project built entirely around a single joke taken seriously: a masked squash fanatic, based on a character from a Kids in the Hall sketch, who performs in full court gear and never breaks role. Songs are short, fast and hardcore-derived, with lyrics devoted to squash etiquette, opponents, headbands and related grievances. The act's appeal rests on the commitment to the bit — the between-song monologues matter as much as the riffs — and it has become a recurring fixture of Chicago's punk scene.
