History
The band formed in San Francisco in 2013.[1] The band released two full-length albums. The first album, titled Peach, was released in 2016 on 6131 Records.[2][3][4] In 2018, Culture Abuse signed to Epitaph Records and released their second full-length album titled Bay Dream.[5][6] That year, the band added drummer Anaiah Lei.[7]
Besides their music, the band is notable for their lead singer, David Kelling, having cerebral palsy. Kelling sought to fight the media narrative of "a normal human, then you have a disabled person" and show parents that "their kid can be a hero too".[8]
Culture Abuse disbanded as of July 2020 after lead singer David Kelling admitted to sexual misconduct allegations.[9]
In 2021, their song "So Busted" was featured at the end of The Suicide Squad.[10]
After Culture Abuse's breakup, drummer Anaiah Lei focused on his project Zulu, which became a full-lineup band. However, Zulu parted ways with him and ultimately went inactive in 2025 after Anaiah was accused of domestic violence and abuse.[7][11]
