“San Francisco’s doomed, just like LA
San Francisco’s doomed, all the kids say
San Francisco’s doomed, it’s all in the air
San Francisco’s doomed, and we don’t care”
Originally recorded in 1978 and 1979, finally released in 1990, and now re-released on local label Superior Viaduct, San Francisco’s Doomed by Crime is a legendary record that punk rock aficionados across the world will revere as a template for decades to come. Come for “the band’s dual-guitar sound, confrontational image and sleazed methodology,” stay for the “unpolished assault of classic, gutter-level punk.”
