Crucifix were a hardcore punk band from Berkeley, California. The band was formed in 1980, fronted by Sothira Pheng, whose family had fled Cambodia, when the Khmer Rouge took power. The band broke up in 1985.
San Fransico Bay Area's answer to Discharge. It was fitting that, after a couple of locally-released 7" EPs, and appearances on Not So Quiet On The Western Front and Rat Music For Rat People they ended up on the British anarcho label that also released the first LPs by Conflict and Antisect. Housed in a fold-out black-and-white poster sleeve, it's plain that Crass were also a major influence. The music itself is nothing original: just very, very fast hardcore with screamed vocals that leave the lyrics unintelligible. It's considered a classic by fans of the D-Beat genre.
