Pivit is a punk rock group originating from Poway and Cardiff, California, established in late 1994 by drummer Mark McLemore, vocalist Chris Moore, and guitarist Eric Sisson within San Diego County. Their initial demo, Find the Fuzz, was recorded in 1995, followed by three studio albums: Pressure (1996), Millennium (1998), and Thanks for Coming Back (2002).

The band garnered moderate acclaim, receiving favorable reviews and supporting prominent bands such as Blink-182, Incubus, MxPx, Pennywise, and Unwritten Law on tour. In 1998, the music video for "Oddessy" was filmed in Rancho Bernardo and downtown San Diego under the direction of Taylor Steele. Additional videos were created for "Fingercuffs" (2002) and "Millennium," with the latter exclusively screened at live performances.

Following their breakup in 2003, Pivit reunited for concerts alongside Agent 51, Sack Lunch, and Spero Lumina between 2008 and 2009, and once more in 2015.
