XTRMST was an American straight edge hardcore punk band[1][2] featuring Davey Havok and Jade Puget of AFI. XTRMST was Havok and Puget's second side project together, after their electronic project Blaqk Audio.[3] They released their debut album XTRMST in 2014[4][5] on long-time friend Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records.[6][7] Havok and Puget later added Chris Sorenson (Saosin) on bass, Josh James (Stick to Your Guns, Evergreen Terrace, Casey Jones) on guitar, and Val Saucedo (Loma Prieta, Punch) on drums.
