About Us: Born from the pit and forged in distortion, the crew of Exploit Circus bring their metal mayhem to the mic. Ring Master Jay, the Dancing Monkey Cee, Hosel the Clown, and Cabana Boy Dre thrash through exploitation and horror cinema, unload brutally honest takes on life, and rip into themes of society, romance, and chaos itself. It’s loud. It’s raw. It’s real. If you live for heavy riffs, dark humor, and unfiltered conversation, welcome to the circus. Mature audiences only.
The Exploit Circus crew have been working together to produce metal music from Jay's 20+ years worth of music, songs, riffs, lyrics, and melodies. On top of the music we produce a bi-weekly podcast focused on horror, exploitation cinema, music, romance, life, health, and anything and everything in between. We just have a ton of fun so swing on by the podcast once you are done checking out our music! Welcome to the circus 🎪
