VCR is an American punk rock band with synthpop leanings. The band formed in November 2002 in Richmond, Virginia, with a relatively unique lineup of a drummer, a bassist, and three synthesizer players.
The band released their debut self-titled EP on the Richmond-based label Pop Faction in 2003. The release was limited to roughly 1000 copies. After no touring, the band was signed by SideOneDummy Records in 2005. The label re-released the band's debut EP with a slightly altered track listing that year. In 2006, the band released their first full-length album, Power Destiny.
In 2007 the band played their last show. In 2011 the Misfits Cassette was re-released on vinyl by Riot Style Records.
