Legal Weapon


Legal Weapon were a Southern California-based punk band, initially composed of singer Kat Arthur and guitarist Brian Hansen, bassist Patricia Morrison, drummer Charlie Vartanian and guitarist Mike R. Livingston.
The band's early full-length albums Death of Innocence and Your Weapon were well received. Later efforts moved away from punk to a more hard rock sound. The band released one album on a major label, 1988's Life Sentence to Love, during a period in which they were signed to MCA Records.
With her powerful voice, Arthur was often called "the Janis Joplin of punk". She died October 14, 2018, at the age of 62.
