Thalidomide are a Prague hardcore-punk band formed in 1993 in Říčany as a teenage trio. They draw on the early-80s American hardcore tradition - Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, SS Decontrol - and are known for politically charged lyrics and uncompromising live shows. Over more than three decades they have opened for Dead Kennedys and Conflict, and released splits with VAP (2019, Emergency Records) and Empty Hall of Fame (2016, PHR).
