Domestic Crisis

Formed in 1987 with vocalist Todd Crisis , with whom they recorded their first demo and played their first shows. During this era all the other members made another band with vocalist Jim Lippucci called Armed Resistance that briefly existed at the same time. When Todd split with the band in late 87 Armed Resistance became the new Domestic Crisis and they recorded their first demo with Jim, "The Barcode Demo". After hearing the Domestic Crisis demo tape "DC-10", Decimation guitarist Joe Mariani expressed interest in working with the guys involved. After Jeff Charest left Decimation, Joe's interest culminated in both Jim Lippucci (vocals) and Dan Goodrich (guitars) joining Decimation and staying with them until their mid-'90s dissolution. After 1990 the band, while technically active, played very rarely, eventually establishing a tradition of playing 1 "reunion" show every summer, which they did for 91, 92 and 93. During this time Sam focused on Verrucose , which even played alongside Domestic Crisis, a reunion of Parma Hardcore/Grind legends Lek (known as the first-ever band of Jim Sadist , Tony Erba and Chris Pellow ), Ringworm , Blood of Christ , Decrepit , Schnauzer and others at a show at The Tank in 1993.
