Visqueen is a power pop/punk rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2001. It is named after a brand of polyethylene film that United States Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge once recommended as a defense against bioterrorism.

The band’s original members were singer-songwriter-guitarist Rachel Flotard and drummer Ben Hooker, both formerly of Hafacat; and Kim Warnick, formerly of the Fastbacks. Warnick retired at the end of 2004, but Muffs co-founder Ronnie Barnett signed on to play the bass during the band’s 2005 tour.

Visqueen’s song “Vaxxine” has received frequent airplay on U.S. independent radio stations.

Rachel Flotard also writes a love advice column for Seattle-based online publication Three Imaginary Girls called Love is Hard with Rachel Flotard, where she dolls out spirited, sharp-witted advice for the love-lorn.

Gonna miss you Visqueen. Here's to hoping Flotard's next project will be just as fantastic and that maybe Hooker will want to do some shows occasionally.

No 'Message to Garcia' album on last.fm? What a shame.

Wish I could go to their KEXP secret show at Bumbershoot, but it's sold out and I'll be waiting to get into the mainstage, anyway. Definitely leaving Bob Dylan's set early to see them, though!

Holy cow! I heard "Fight For Love" on Mercy a few weeks back and I now have the entire back catalogue on order. Just... frankly... blown away.

Rachel Flotard has mad stage charisma. I reckon it to be damn near impossible to not develop a crush on her immediately upon catching these guys live.
