The Eradicator

The D-Squash Ladder

Bio

The Eradicator is a musical artist & band based on the protagonist of the Kids in the Hall sketch of the same name.  Blurring the line between fanfiction and adaptive reality, The Eradicator has molded punk and hardcore influences into an expansive catalog of tracks that expound on the psychological makeup of an aggressive ski mask-wearing squash player in a restless environment, confronting internal demons while combating external challengers as part of his quest to maintain dominance atop his local D Squash ladder. 

Formed in 2015 with a backing band of veteran musicians based in Chicago, IL and Milwaukee, WI, The Eradicator has released 3 full length albums, 2 EP’s, various compilation tracks, and has played nearly 200 shows across four countries.  To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the band, The Eradicator is releasing an 8 track single-sided vinyl LP called You Can Hate The Eradicator, to be released in September 2025. 

You Can Hate The Eradicator was recorded in Tampa, FL at Candor Recording with engineer Ryan Boesch (Whores., Norma Jean, Andrew W.K.) and features a new backing band with members scattered across Gainesville, FL, Tampa, FL, and Chicago, IL.  Clocking in at under 20 minutes, You Can Hate The Eradicator traverses through subjects of empowerment, a newfound hatred of golf, a constant battle against father time, and bad body odor.
