Armed and Hammered is a hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario, spawned from Bunchofuckingoofs (BFG) and the Kensington Market scene. They played their first show June 7, 1989, and their final show on April 19, 2003. Originally formed by singer Mopa Dean, the bassist for Masochistic Religion, a gothic rock band from Toronto Ontario, Canada, and drummer Kyle, the earliest lineup also included Lamo, Philphee and BFG's Thor. By the time of Armed & Hammered's first release in 1991, the Fully Loaded cassette the latter three had given way to Hardcore Dave (guitar) and Kieran (bass), beginning the long revolving door of membership.
Armed and Hammered briefly reunited to play a set in support of English group GBH's tour stop in Toronto in July 2010, then reformed in May 2012.
