The Pist was a political punk band that was formed in Connecticut in the winter of 1992 by Bill Chamberlain on guitar, Al Ouimet on vocals & bass, and Greg Bennick (later of Trial) on drums. After a few lineup changes, the band eventually solidified as Bill on guitar, Al on vocals, Brian Marshall on drums and Rick Abbott on bass. The band toured the U.S. three times in the ensuing years and broke up in 1996. While they were around they played shows with the likes of Aus-Rotten
