Cripple Bastards are a grindcore band from Asti, Italy. They were formed in 1988. They were formed in order to keep their area on the Hardcore map as most of the other bands around them were breaking up. They were formed by vocalist Giulio the Bastard and guitarist Alberto the Crippler. They were initially a metal influenced punk band and were called called Grimcorpses. They were not satisfied by their music however and soon decided to go towards a more extreme direction. They decided on the name Cripple Bastards due to their change in music. They combined hardcore and metal influences with grindcore, but still managed to sound different from many other grindcore bands at the time. Their first official demo saw Cripple Bastards sharing the same tape with two other bands (also including Cripple Bastards members). A few more tracks and demos were recorded after this. The band also played various venues including their first ever international concert in Croati
