Hardcore punk stone outfit Only Crime first appeared in 2002, but its members were already more than seasoned veterans from all over the rock scene. After all, the ring is made up of singer Russ Rankin (Good Riddance), guitarist Aaron Dalbec (Bane, Converge), drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, ALL, Black Flag), guitarist Zach Blair (GWAR, Hagfish), and bassist Doni Blair (Hag, Armstrong). Dissatisfied with the condition of their present bands, Rankin and Dalbec initially toyed with the thought of starting a band together during a summer Good Riddance/Bane tour. Next thing they knew, the 2 Blairs had sign on, and with the last addition of Stevenson, Only Crime were officially up and running. Shows with Dropkick Murphys were played before Fat Wreck released their uncut debut, To the Nines, in July 2004. Tour dates with Stretch Armstrong, the Suicide Machines, Strung Out and Avail followed and the guys likewise contributed a track to the second John Rock Against Bush compiling. Eventually, Only Crime settled in once again at Stevenson's the Blasting Room in Colorado to begin act on their follow-up, Virulency, which was after released in January 2007.
