The brainchild of original Virus vocalist Mike Virus, Cheap Sex formed in 2002, forged out of a need for real, socially aware punk rock in Southern California. Proof of this need came in the form of a massive response from the fans, resulting in the bands almost instantaneous ability to pack venues just on word of mouth without so much as a demo available. New Yorks premier punk label seemed the perfect match for Cheap Sex and the band wasted no time in getting in the studio to record their debut album "Launch off to War" which was released on Punk Core in July 2003. Aggressively supporting their debut album, the band hit the road for their first self-headlining tour as well as several festival appearances including the Wasted festival in Morecambe England, Viva le Punk at CBGBs and British Invasion where they shared stages with some of the biggest acts of yesterday and today including The Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and The Dogs, Lower Class Brats, English Dogs, The Feederz, Agent Orange, Defiance, The Icons of Filth and many more. Their First tour was cut short by a terrible accident involving their tour van and a truck full of cinderblocks, resulting in their guitar player John being flown to a Pennsylvania area hospital for immediate open heart surgery which saved his life.
