Reviews & Opinions

MARK P, SNIFFIN' GLUE #7, February 1977: Not available in Britain yet but someone's gonna get it over, I think. Crime are from the West Coast and they're very noisey [sic] and incompetent. It is a fuckin' great single though. Both sides sound like they're recorded in a warehouse, it's like a really horrible mess. They all dress in leather and they try to look tough, they look more like a [sic] Fonz imitators. I did know all their names but I lost the press handout that they sent me, I know that their names are stupid anyhow. There's probabley [sic] loads of small States bands putting out this sort of mess on their own labels. Make sure you get 'em to Britain. Oh yeah, one of 'em's called Johnny Strike and another one, Frankie Fix. Yeah, they're silly right?
