Marilyn's Vitamins was a punk rock ensemble originating from Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, established in 1995 and concluding their performances with a final concert on December 28, 1999, in Toronto, Ontario. Throughout their nearly five-year tenure, the group produced two full-length albums under the Raw Energy label and released multiple 7" singles via Ductape and Ugly Pop Vinyl. A retrospective compilation album was released posthumously by Underground Operations in 2003. The band’s roster featured Rob Moir (guitar), Danny Complex (guitar and vocals), Colin Lichti (vocals), Adam Cook (bass and vocals), Jeff Breen (guitar), Kristoffer Wood (bass), and Shawn Dickey (drums). Following the band's dissolution, members went on to participate in other projects including Bombs Over Providence, Hostage Life, and Dead Letter Dept. Their songwriting often focused on contemporary political themes.
