Crisis started out in late 70s UK with the rise of the punk movement. They were at the forefront of the political take on punk. Their songs were about the state of the country, the government and anti-Nazism. They released three 7" singles and a mini-LP (all material was later made available on a double CD retrospective). They split in 1980.
