"Wild in the Streets" is the perfect way to describe a Circle Jerks concert. These guys have been the embodiment of hardcore punk since they started in 1979. Lead singer Keith Morris brought the band to the masses, and have influenced countless acts since their inception.
Despite several break ups due to volatility between band members and Morris, they keep reuniting from time to time to go on tour and give a throw back to the early days of punk rock.I was fortunate enough to catch the band during their last stint on tour before their 2010 hiatus.
Despite their age, Morris and the crew played the smallish venue with all the heart and soul that you would expect from the Jerks. The raucous crowd was lovely and in a constant state of motion from the pit to the side stage.
The band enthusiastically regurgitated most of their classics like "Deny Everything" (arguably one of the most respected and iconic songs in the genre) to "Live Fast Die Young" to some of their lesser known songs like "Sinking Ship". Despite being on tour off and on for several decades, The Circle Jerks never cease to amaze in their live shows. Hopefully the band will reunite again, and give many people who have been influenced by them to see them one more time (or for the first time).
