Influenced by hardcore/grindcore bands such as Napalm Death, Cripple Bastards first formed back in 1988. The Italian band was originally created in Asti (Italy) by Giulio 'the Bastard' (drums) and Alberto (guitars, vocals) (13 and 16 years old respectively) as some punk project named Grimcorpses. The band eventually decided to alter their style, change name and adopt a musical direction similar to popular noisecore bands of the time, such as Anal Cunt.

The group first released their first official demo which was released on a three-way split with Dissonance (hardcore/grind) and K.S.G. (dark ambient) and have had, since then, an increasing fanbase. The band has now released various albums, has appeared on over a dozen compilations and has released split EPs with bands such as Violent Headache, Psychotic Noise and Carcass Grinder.

The band's latest efforts, "Il Grande Silenzio", "Misantropo a Senso Unico" and "Almost Human" have confirmed the group's position as one of the most central noisecore grind acts around.
