Hardcore punk rock 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 band is made up of vocalist Russ Rankin (Good Riddance), guitarist Aaron Dalbec (Bane, Converge), drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, ALL), guitarist Zach Blair (GWAR, Hagfish), and ba**ist Doni Blair (Hagfish, Armstrong). Dissatisfied with the condition of their present bands, Rankin and Dalbec initially toyed with the idea of starting a band together. Next thing they knew, the two Blairs had signed on, and with the final addition of Stevenson, Only Crime were officially up and running. Fat Wreck released their full-length debut, To the Nines, in July 2004. Tour dates with Dropkick Murphys and the Suicide Machines followed, and they also contributed a track to the second Rock Against Bush compilation. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
