2022.05.13 - Talk is Jericho - Max Creeps - The Most Influential Punk Band of All Time (Duff)
The long-awaited, highly-anticipated, and critically-acclaimed Max Creeps album “Nein” has finally arrived! And we’re celebrating its release with an exclusive interview with the most influential punk rock band in history! Max Blastic and PC Bullshit of Max Creeps share their unbelievable story from their first meeting at David Bowie’s 1973 concert at the Hammersmith Odeon to their time on a working cattle boat to their unfortunate falling out and ultimate break-up. They discuss the circumstances that led to their reunion, their songwriting process, how they feel about bands like The Clash, the Sex Pistols, and the Germs stealing their song ideas back in the day, why they don’t consider “Nein” their debut album, and how it feels to have influenced everyone from Slash to Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong to Henry Rollins and Fozzy.

The mystery of Max Creeps: Listen to new album from supposed “seminal” punk band
Last month, you may have seen a litany of artists including Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong, Slash of Guns N’ Roses and Against Me!‘s Laura Jane Grace mourn the breakup of the punk duo Max Creeps. Two days later, Max Creeps announced that they were reuniting, and planned to release a new album.
This would all be very exciting if it weren’t so confusing. Despite a press release describing them as a “seminal band who birthed punk rock,” there’s no evidence that Max Creeps ever existed before their breakup and subsequent reunion announcement.
One idea is that it’s a secret side-project from GN’R’s Duff McKagan, though the Max Creeps members — named Max Blastic and PC Bulls*** — have denied that the band is a “hoax.”
Even if it is all a made-up, no one is telling. Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho, who also claims to be a Max Creeps fan, tells ABC Audio that it’s “absolutely insane” no one else has heard of them.
“The fact they broke up caused such brouhaha,” Jericho says. “I was talking to Slash about it, he was despondent, he could barely speak.”
Max Creeps getting back together, Jericho adds, is “bigger than…if Pink Floyd reunited.”
“But a lot of people don’t know it,” Jericho says. “Max Creeps don’t even know it. They don’t even care. And that’s kinda part of what makes them so special, and also what makes them so f***ing disgusting, as well.”
Whatever Max Creeps is or isn’t, you can judge for yourself by listening to the band’s new album, Nein, which is out today. They’ll also launch a tour in June.
“If they show up [at] whatever toilet they’re playing in, I’ll be there with a hazmat suit on,” Jericho says.
