The Infernal Punks started out as an outlaw 1% motorcycle club that started on Grand Theft Auto V Online. Punks have been tearing up the highways of Los Santos and bringing the mayhem from beneath. Together, we’ve built one of the strongest gaming communities out there. We’re more than just friends gaming together… We’re a brotherhood.
Infernal Punks was established November 3, 2015 by our founder, Metal. Metal was one of the MC community OG members that broke off to start his own vision of a club. Relations were built with other community members, as people gradually trickled in and out of the MC lifestyle. The club was pretty static for a while as the Punks needed to figure out who they were as a club. Metal has since moved on to other things in life and we wish him well, but wherever he is – I’m sure he is based.
October 16th, 2016 is recognized as the official reformation of the motorcycle club, and this date is typically celebrated as our official anniversary date as that’s when things really picked up. The Original 7 helped Infernal Punks grow exponentially, growing into four charters, establishing an IPMC National governing crew, website development and mass recruitment. Heck, we were actually promoted two different times on Rockstar Games Social Club as part of their featured crews. Our activity drew the attention of rival crews, and threw the MC into several club wars for competition. Rivals sure were bitter, but we were having fun obsessing over this game, and fighting with some of the best combat players in the game.
Over time we’ve shifted our focus as a gaming community to expand to different games. Of course GTA couldn’t be our focus forever as people were getting older, and GTA had been running for a cool decade. We wanted to explore charters for other gamers, so in May 2019 we created a full Red Dead Online crew called The Infernal Outlaws on Playstation. We later moved the crew back to PC once the game re-released – which was heavily active for about another year on PC until R* gave up on the game entirely from a development standpoint. Damn shame what they did to our boy. The Outlaws dominated sessions as we were one of the original posses for the game. Heck, we even owned the subreddits for RedDeadOnline, RedDeadPosses, and RedDeadCrews.
Later in 2022, we expanded yet again into another charter for Elder Scrolls Online which has brought in so many different types of great players. This was the first attempt at a non-rockstar structured crew and opened our eyes to what the future could hold for other possibilities. ESO is a very co-op dependent game, and it’s nice to have friends to rely on.
Long story short, we played a bunch of video games, kicked ass, had some fun, met some cool people, and we’re still playing games today. Punks Forever, Forever Punks.
