The American Plague is a four-piece American rock band formed in 2001 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The band was started by singer-guitarist James Dean Brown "Jaw" Alexander after his tenure with Bobby Steele's (formerly of The Misfits) horror-punk group The Undead.[1] Alexander had previously played guitar in punk group The Malignmen, formed in 1995.[2] Due to creative differences, Alexander disbanded the Malignmen in 1999 and left the Undead to form The American Plague in 2001.
