Retching Red was an American, Oakland, California-based hardcore punk band, that formed in late July 2004. Their lyrics mainly deal with feminist and leftist political issues.^[1]

Retching Red released their second album, Scarlet Whore of War, in April 2006^[3] and followed it up with a month-long tour of Europe^[4][5] and a full US tour in July. In September 2006, they released a split 7-inch with The Twats, and have been on indefinite hiatus since.
