  • The Germs are an American punk rock band from Los Angeles, California, originally active from 1977 to 1980. The band's early lineup consisted of singer Darby Crash, guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Lorna Doom, and their most consistent drummer Don Bolles. Germs have since reformed in 2005 with Shane West replacing Darby Crash. They released only one album, 1979's (GI) and were featured the following year in Penelope Spheeris' documentary film The Decline of Western Civilization, which chronicled the Los Angeles punk movement. The Germs disbanded following Crash's suicide on December 7, 1980. Their music was influential to many later punk rock acts. Pat Smear went on to greater notoriety performing with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. In 2005 actor Shane West was cast to play Crash in the Germs biographical film What We Do Is Secret named after a song by the Germs. He performed with Pat Smear, Doom, and Bolles at a production party for the film, after which the Germs re-formed with West as singer. The new lineup of the band has performed a number of tours in the United States, including performances on the 2006 and 2008 Warped Tours.
  • The Germs sind eine frühe US-amerikanische Punkband. Sie wurden im April 1977 von Darby Crash (Jan Paul Beahm), Pat Smear (Georg Ruthenberg), Lorna Doom und Belinda Carlisle in Los Angeles gegründet. Carlisle verließ die Band wenige Monate später und wurde durch D.J. Bonebreak (Don Bolles) ersetzt. 1978 unterschrieb die Band einen Plattenvertrag bei Slash und veröffentlichte im Dezember 1979 ihr Debütalbum "(GI)", das zu einem Meilenstein des amerikanischen Punk/Hardcore wurde. Am 7. Dezember 1980 starb Darby Crash im Alter von 22 Jahren an einer Überdosis Heroin. Kurz darauf lösten sich die Germs auf. Im Jahr 2005 erschien der Film What We Do Is Secret, welcher die Geschichte der Band behandelt. Schauspieler Shane West verkörperte den verstorbenen Darby Crash so überzeugend, dass Pat Smear ihm anbot, der Band auch im wirklichen Leben beizutreten, was von West angenommen wurde. Seitdem geben die Germs wieder regelmäßig Konzerte und waren unter Anderem im Line-up der Warped Tour 2006 und 2008. Zudem waren die Germs in ihrer neuen Formation auch in Europa auf Tour, wo sie von der Deutschen Old-school-Hardcore Band Hammerhead begleitet wurden.

De debuutsingle Forming wordt algemeen beschouwd als het allereerste hardcore-punknummer. Twee bandleden uit deze groep begonnen na het uiteenvallen van The Germs bij andere grote acts. Gitarist Pat Smear voegde zich in 1993 bij de grungeband Nirvana, tot aan de dood van zanger Kurt Cobain. Drummer Belinda Carlisle werd zangeres van de meidengroep The Go-Go's en had een succesvolle solocarrière toen haar groep uiteenviel.

  • The Germs foi uma banda de punk rock formada em 1977 em Los Angeles, Estados Unidos. Seu compacto de 1977, "Forming/Sexboy" é atribuído como a primeira gravação de punk rock de Los Angeles. O grupo era formado pelo vocalista Darby Crash, o guitarrista Pat Smear, baixista Lorna Doom e pelo baterista Don Bolles. Eles gravaram vários compactos e, em 1979, gravaram o álbum (GI), o único album de estúdio da banda. Eles encerraram suas atividades em 1980, devidos aos excessos de Crash, viciado em drogas. Darby Crash suicidou-se nesse mesmo ano através de uma overdose "planejada" de heroína, juntamente com sua namorada, Casey "Cola" Hopkings. A nota de suicídio afirmara ter feito um "pacto de morte" com Casey, que acabou sobrevivendo. The Germs se desfez após o suicídio de Darby Crash em 07 dezembro de 1980. Sua música foi influente para muitos outras bandas de punk rock . Pat Smear passou a ter maior notoriedade tocando com Nirvana e Foo Fighters . Após a realização do único disco em estúdio, (GI), o The Germs gravou seis canções originais com o lendário produtor Jack Nitzsche para a trilha sonora do filme, Cruising (de 1980), estrelado por Al Pacino. Lorna compôs uma das canções. Apenas "Lion's Share," que finaliza o LP da Colúmbia aparece sendo interpretada pelo grupo no filme, durante a cena de um assassinato num clube de Nova Iorque. As outras composições gravadas não apareceriam até 1988, quando quatro faixas foram mostradas ao público, gravadas no famoso último show do grupo em Starwood em 1980. As sessões para Cruising foram finalmente distribuidas oficialmente no CD "(MIA): The Complete Recordings."
