Crucifix Tickets

Crucifix emerged from Berkeley, California in the early 1980s as a defining voice in anarcho-punk. Fronted by Cambodian-born Sothira Pheng, the band delivered stark, politically charged lyrics paired with minimalist art, leaving a lasting imprint on punk history. Their work captures a raw, uncompromising ethos that continues to influence bands across the genre. Here’s a concise look at the band's journey, essential releases, and what to expect on the road.

While Crucifix’s original activity was concentrated between 1980 and 1984, their impact endures. The band’s only full-length album, Dehumanization (1983, Corpus Christi Records), is frequently cited as a landmark in anarcho-punk. In addition to Dehumanization, their 1981 self-titled EP and the 1982 single Nineteen Eighty-Four helped shape the early explosion of politically engaged hardcore. A posthumous compilation, Exhibit A (1997), gathered key era material for new generations. Contemporary reinterpretations—like the 2025 Dehumanization project from CVLT Nation—keep Crucifix’s anti-establishment message in circulation. For fans exploring the roots of punk history, Crucifix offers a crucial, uncompromising portal into a formative era.
