Filthy Traitors is a Seattle-based garage punk band that began as an idea in late 2016 between guitarist/vocalist Chelsea Weaver and drummer Jack Love. Joined by local sound engineer/producer Justin Davis on lead guitar and Ryan VanderVegt on bass, they mix old school punk rock with heavier guitar and bass riffs, creating a genre-bending sound unified by the constant thread of soaring melody. Their sets are explosive- full of energy and charisma, demonstrating a genuine love of playing music for others and with each other.
The band released their first EP, Even After Death, in September of 2020, and, after an intense year of recording, dropped their full-length sophomore album, “Date Night,” in March of 2024. They’ve toured the West Coast and Vegas in 2023 and 2024, had a successful North California run in 2025, and regularly make it across Washington State and into Oregon. Their new material is both heavier, catchier, and… jazzier(??), and they’re looking forward to being back in the studio this December.
