The Old Haunts were a rock music band formed in 2001 in Olympia, Washington. The band was sometimes defined as punk but exhibited additional qualities similar to southern swamp rock. Arpeggiated twangy guitar riffs, pounding bass lines and rock drumming were major features of the group's sound.

Principal members of the band were the founders Craig Extine (guitar, vocals) and Scott Seckington(bass), and the band's final drummer, Tobi Vail. Vail was previously a member of Bikini Kill and The Frumpies. Past drummers for The Old Haunts included founding member Curtis James, Natalie Cox, Danny Sasaki, and Chris Sutton, most of whom had played with other Olympia bands. James was in Serum Greys and Excuse 17; Sasaki was a member of Mocket; Cox came from Popular Music; and Sutton had been in Dub Narcotic Sound System.

Before signing with the Kill Rock Stars label, The Old Haunts released a pair of independent EPs, and a full-length album, Collection, which combines both.

With a steady core membership of Extine and Seckington, the band recorded three full-length albums for Kill Rock Stars:

The band contributed the song "By the Bay" to the Kill Rock Stars compilation Otis' Opuses (2006).
