Black President is an American punk rock band. It was formed in 2005 by Circle Jerks/Bad Religion guitarist Greg Hetson and Goldfinger guitarist Charlie Paulson. ==History== The band was originally formed in late 2005 by Hetson and Paulson, who were joined by Jason Christopher (New Dead Radio) on bass and vocals, Roy Mayorga (Nausea) on drums, and Christian Martucci (The Strychnine Babies, Dee Dee Ramone) on vocals. Mayorga was unable to commit to the band due to previous commitments with Stone Sour. He was temporarily replaced by Wade Youman (Unwritten Law), and later by Ty Smith (Guttermouth, Bullets and Octane). Mayorga returned in time to record the debut album and has been permanently replaced by Dave Raun of Lagwagon.〔("Greg Hetson, Charlie Paulson form Black President." ) Punknews.org.

On February 25, 2008, the band announced they had signed a deal with Cobra Music.〔("Black President signs to Cobra Music." ) Punknews.org.

Other members of the band cited Hetson's conflicting commitments with Bad Religion and Circle Jerks as the reason for his departure. Guitar duties were picked up by Martucci, reducing the quintet to a four-piece. Their self-titled debut album was released September 16, 2008. The band also filmed a video for the song "Suspects."〔("Black President post video, new tracks, release date." ) Punknews.org.
