God knows what album cover that is and have fun trying to find a wealth of information about Dr. and the Crippens, but apparently John Peel felt they were good enough for his famous Peel Sessions. Rightfully so. Dr. and the Crippens are a buried treasure of the hardcore punk scene. They recorded through the 80's and early 90's.
In 1988, Dr. and the Crippens recorded their Peel Session and here it is in all its skull-punching glory. Check out "Ode to a Slug." Almost a grindcore song there. There's definitely some early stirrings of crossover in there as well.
Now a days, Tom Crippen (guitar) and Max Von Rheinheart (vocals) are now members of Baby Judas.
