Crime Band
Crime was an early US punk band from San Francisco. The band was formed in 1976 by Johnny Strike (voc., guit.), Frankie Fix (voc., guit.), Ron "The Ripper" Greco (bass; ex-Flamin' Groovies) and Rickey Tractor aka Rickey Williams (drums). Their debut, the self-financed double A-side, Hot Wire My Heart and Baby You're So Repulsive, appeared at the end of 1976, and is the first single released by a U.S. punk act from the West Coast. In the following years Crime changed their line-up twice: Williams was fired (later appearing in groups such as Flipper, Toiling Midgets and the Sleepers; he is now deceased) and was succeeded by Brittley Black in 1977, but was quickly replaced by Hank Rank that same year. Black was back for Crime's last release Maserati in 1981. The band split up the following year. Frankie Fix died in 1996, and Black in 2004. San Francisco's Doomed featuring the lineup: Strike, Fix, Ripper, Rank was released by Solar Lodge in the UK in 1991 on vinyl and CD. San Francisco's Still Doomed (with added tracks and remastering) was re-released in both formats in 2004 by Swami Records.
