Strike Under

About the artist

Strike Under was founded in 1979 or 1980. Although American punk is generally considered to have started 4 or 5 years earlier, punk and New Wave music arrived in Chicago far later than on either coast, so that Strike Under is correctly still considered an "early" Chicago punk band. They can also be seen as one of the first and most important bands of the "second wave" of Chicago punk, as it turned toward a more hardcore scene and sound, and as an archetype of Chicago hardcore.
