Quincy Punx, a punk band rooted in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was established in 1990 by Bob Wood on guitar, Dave DePriest handling vocals and lyrics, and Mike Robertson on drums and vocals, all of whom have remained constant members throughout the band's history. The group has seen numerous changes in its bass players over the years, beginning with Greg Martin, who had to depart due to severe chemical burns that left him in a coma. It was only after the addition of their fifth bassist, Jeff, that the band became more active. With the recruitment of their sixth bassist, Kyle, Quincy Punx released their first recording: the 1992 six-song 7" EP titled (me) a.k.a. "Darby Was A Martyr," which was distributed by THD Records and received positive reviews from publications like Flipside, Jeff Bale, and Maximumrockandroll's Tim Yohannon.

Shortly thereafter, Quincy Punx signed with Recess Records and launched "Get The Humans," a five-song 7" EP, followed by a split release with THD titled "We're Not Punx... But We Play Them On T.V.," a 23-song LP that included a cover of G.G. Allin's "Don't Talk To Me" in 1993. The band soon embarked on its first tours.

By 1995, Quincy Punx began recording at Amphetamine Reptile studios, producing material for the 1995 "Stuck on Stupid" 10" EP released on Recess, along with split 7" records with Blanks 77, Resin Scraper, and the Rejects. They also contributed the song "Sick Pleasure" to the compilation "No Slow, All Go!" released by Half-Mast/The Daggers Records, which featured various Twin Cities bands and was nominated for a Minnesota Music Award, as was Quincy Punx in 1996. During this period, the band was also featured in the documentary "When We Play For Real," directed by Patti Rhodes, which focused on the Twin Cities punk scene. They toured extensively with bands such as F.Y.P., Sex Offenders, and Blanks 77, alongside brief appearances with Hickey, the Dwarves, Propagandhi, and others.

In 1997, Kyle left the band, and Frank Rivera from the Minneapolis band Skaterbait took over as bassist. Frank contributed to the Quincy Punx V.M.L.ive 7" recorded at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago. After the U.S. tour in '97, he left the band and was succeeded by Blake Hurlbert of (sic). That same year, the band recorded material for their second full-length LP, "Nutso Smasho," with Tim Mac, referred to in the liner notes as "Dr. X," also released on Recess Records.

From 1993 to 1999, Quincy Punx contributed songs to various compilations, including "Punk Bites 2" CD, "Pigs Suck" 2x7", "Stealing The Pocket" LP, and "One Beer Short Of A Six Pack" 7", among others, on labels such as Laberynth, Turkey Baster, and Liberation. After Blake's departure, Troy Stark (Mondo Trasho, Slipshod) became the band's ninth bassist, marking the final phase of their touring efforts. By 1999, the band had largely ceased touring, focusing instead on local performances and occasional "one-off" appearances.

Tragically, Frank Rivera passed away in 2008.

In 2010, Mike produced "My America! Tribute to the Quincy Punx," a 28-song tribute CD on Crustacean Records featuring 27 bands, primarily from the Twin Cities, covering Quincy Punx songs. This project also included the first Quincy Punx release in 12 years, a cover of the Vindictives' "Get Lost," and served as a fundraiser for the West Memphis Three Support/Legal Defense Fund, alongside an accompanying four-song 7".
