XTRMST was an American straight edge hardcore punk band[1][2] featuring Davey Havok and Jade Puget of AFI. XTRMST was Havok and Puget's second side project together, after their electronic project Blaqk Audio.[3] They released their debut album XTRMST in 2014[4][5] on long-time friend Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records.[6][7] Havok and Puget later added Chris Sorenson (Saosin) on bass, Josh James (Stick to Your Guns, Evergreen Terrace, Casey Jones) on guitar, and Val Saucedo (Loma Prieta, Punch) on drums.

The band ultimately played two live shows in early 2015: One at the Roxy in West Hollywood, and one at The Observatory in Santa Ana. The project became inactive in 2015 and has not been revisited since, with each member returning to their main bands.
