Fear

Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, Fear, fronted by Lee Ving, became a seminal band in the West Coast hardcore punk scene. Their raw energy and confrontational style quickly gained notoriety, famously showcased in "The Decline of Western Civilization" and a chaotic 1981 SNL performance. Fear's aggressive sound and nihilistic lyrics continue to resonate, making their live shows an intense experience of punk rock history.
