The Crew

The Crew is a Luthorian Modern Punk band founded in 3744. It was dissolved in 3766. Some people say they're the real founders of Modern Punk for having simple rythms and lyrics and opposing the popularity and commercial success from rock and punk bands. They're considered to be the main influence of Post Punk.

Formation of the band (3744 - 3749)
Freddie Smith (Fred) was a problematic adolescent with a obsessive-compulsive disorder who was sent to a psychiatric. There, he met people who liked the same things as him. John Moon, Thomas Loney (Thom) and Richard Bennet (Rick) eventually became friends with Fred. One day they decided to start a new project together, be part of a rock band.

In 3745 they released their first recording, "Unbelievable Son" and was classified as punk rock. The Crew never liked being considered punks, when they did so, Fred said "I ain't a punk, but I guess I like contributing to it".

In 3748 they released another recording, "Hell is on the Way". This one became really famous and during a gig in Luthori, someone reached them and asked them, "Are you sure you don't want to earn some money by doing music?", all of them rejected that idea.

3750 - 3759
Fred and John's friendship was constantly falling down. Fred was a left-wing militant and John a conservative. John wanted to go further and leave Punk, and all of this was causing trouble in the band. Their friendship ended when Fred "stole" John his girlfriend to marry her. John wrote a song named "The Communist Took My Baby Away".

They produced another recording called "Love is Nihilist". This one had something special, it would be the last one they'll produce.

The end (3760 - 3766)
During a concert in 3760, John had an accident and couldn't assist to any concert in 2 months. Thom and Rick felt invisible and were sick of being part of the band, especially because of the conflicts. Fred and John were still fighting with each other, and as Fred said before dying, "the paradise ceased to exist and everyone noticed that it was the hell".

After the Break-Up

 * Fred helped several punk bands to progress, and died 4 years after the rupture of a heart attack.
