The Germs were a classic American punk rock band formed in 1977, disbanded in 1980. Their fast spit-and-blood hardcore punk sound mixed with singer Darby Crash's (real name Jan Paul Beahm) highly literate and dark poetic lyrics made them, to many, one of the most distinctive bands in the entire punk scene. The Germs are still remembered by fans as being among the best in the genre. They disbanded when Crash, after long bouts with drug addiction and self-destructive behavior, committed suicide at age 22 on December 7, 1980.
