About this episode
LA's Germs were the stars of The Decline of Western Civilization, with front man Darby Crash frothing out his lyrics atop a sloppy punk stomp fueled by guitarist (and future Nirvana/Foo Fighters member) Pat Smear. John and Marc delve into their first 7-inch, 1977's "Forming" b/w "Sex Boy" (the latter recorded on the set of Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, for real) with the help of guest Joe Gross, supreme rock writer and author of Fugazi's In on the Kill Taker from Bloomsbury's 33.3 series.
