Formed by 15 year olds Tyler Massacre, Yianna B and Mandy Morgan in November of 1995 and signed to Recess Records and touring by the ripe old age of 16, this hardcore punk outfit from Portland, OR has been checking off their musical bucket list ever since. Taken under the wing of bands like AFI, FYP, Toys That Kill, Death By Stereo, Thrice and Detestation, they toured the US extensively from ’98-’05 with constant west coast touring rounding out their initial decade long run. 

After a ten year gap the band reunited for a wild sold out reunion show in 2016 at Secret Society Ballroom. This ultimately opened the door to their 2023 reunion in San Pedro, CA for the Recess Records Romp where they shared the stage with Off With Their Heads, FYP, Dwarves, The Spits, Saccharine Trust, Generacion Suicida, Dillinger Four, The Arrivals, Iron Chic and more. 

Berzerk has remained active and recently toured the Pacific Northwest with DFL, packing out venues. Nov-2025 marked their 30 year anniversary and they are celebrating with a new batch of songs, records and shows . They’ve traded the wild unpredictable nature of their early shows for a more calculated and mature audible assault and fans are eager to see what comes next.

 Berzerk has toured and played with: Bikini Kill, AFI, Sleater Kinney, FYP, The Spits, Earth Crisis, Thrice, Death By Stereo, Good Riddance, DFL, Mean Bikini, Rich Kids on LSD,  Toys That Kill, OWTH, Generacion Suicida, Guttermouth, D4, H20, Sick of it All, YOB, Botch, Himsa,

and many more.
