Germs were a legendary punk band from Los Angeles, active from 1977 to 1980. Fronted by the charismatic and troubled Darby Crash, the band's raw, aggressive sound and nihilistic lyrics made them a cult favorite. Their debut album, "GI," released in 1979, is considered a classic of the genre, and their live performances were notorious for their intensity and chaos. Despite their short-lived existence, Germs left an indelible mark on punk rock, inspiring countless bands and fans with their uncompromising attitude and unforgettable music.
