Insect Warfare was a grindcore band from Houston, Texas. Formed in 2004, they made their first demo "Gulf Coast Infestation" later that year. This earned them some interest from 625 records, which helped to release the following year IW's next installment as a band, "At War With Grindcore" EP with 8 fast, heavy noise grind tracks on it. Alex Hughes quit the band and formed the powerviolence act Hatred Surge, later recording a split 7" through RSR with his former band.
