It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I really liked them. There was a certain mysterious vibe about them because they never put out a full length, singles were impossible to get. You could read about them, they were in all the big punk anthologies, but to really discover them took effort.

Yeah. I miss those days.
The sound of those records is (still) incredible.

A sad loss. Great band. Still a regular play at JKB towers.

Re: RIP Johnny Strike
I saw them a couple of times way back when. They were a good live band. I wonder if I still have any of their 45s? R.I.P.

Oh no!
I love those Crime records. They’re perfect.

The collection Murder by Guitar on Superior Viaduct is great. I picked up a couple of cd collections that sounded weak, like old moldy cassettes. This was the first time I heard what sounded like master tape quality versions if their songs.

The Swami reissued it with 2 extra tracks in 2004.

San Francisco had some great early punk bands: the DKs, the Avengers, the Nuns, Flipper, Negative Trend. Crime sounded more dangerous than any of them.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

Saw them a few times. The Mabuhay and a place called the Farm. It was a hippy co-op under the Army St. overpass.
