The Fucking Champs are a three-piece rock band from San Francisco, California.[1] They are known for their heavy metal sound, based largely around shifting time signatures, guitar harmonies, and plentiful rhythm. Most songs are instrumental. They are currently signed to Drag City. They have also collaborated with Trans Am and the two have recorded albums together as TransChamps and The Fucking Am. Founded in Santa Cruz in the early 1990s, the band was initially called The Champs, but added the "Fucking" to their name – following a brief stint as The Champs UK[2] – because The Champs had been used by a band in the late 1950s.

Phil Manley stated in a January 31, 2011 interview that "The Champs have broken up. Tim Soete has moved to San Diego and Tim Green lives in Grass Valley, California.

Drummer Tim Soete provides precise, propulsive beats that underpin these complex arrangements, with pounding percussion that locks into the guitars' rhythms to sustain relentless tempos. His work focuses on tight, driving patterns that support the band's high-energy dynamics, often shifting suddenly to accentuate polyrhythmic elements or build toward cathartic releases.

Broader inspirations include , as demonstrated by their contribution to the 8-bit tribute album Power Up! Mutations and Mutilations of 8-Bit Hits, where they reinterpreted The Legend of Zelda's overworld theme with chiptune-infused riffs. Surf rock elements appear in their melodic phrasing, adding a buoyant, reverb-heavy twang to otherwise heavy arrangements.
