	'''Strike Under''' was one of the bigger acts in the earliest Chicago punk scene. Forming around [[1980]] and breaking up in [[1981]], Strike Under left a legacy that went beyond their short existance . Part of their legacy was the fact that their only album was the first ever release by [[Wax Trax]], and the success of their members in future projects ([[Naked Raygun]], [[Pegboy]], [[Breaking Circus]]).

	Strike Under formed in 1980. Given that [[The Effigies]] and Strike Under have a Kezdy in each band, they both likely formed around the same time. The Bjorklund brothers had played guitar for a few years and were looking to form a band. Sometime that year they went to see a screening of "Quadrophenia" at a theater near Loyola University. They saw some guys a few seats away with black jackets and Crass armbands, which in those days was nearly unheard of. The guys turned out to be the Kezdy brothers and Steve Economou.

	It is tough to exactly pinpoint the breakup of Strike Under. [[KFTH]] says it was in 1981, though they played a show at [[Waves]] on December 9th of that year. Steve Bjorklund formed [[Terminal Beach]] right after the breakup of SU, and they played a show in May of [[1982]]. A post on the tcpunk.com message boards from Chris Bjorklund said they broke up in 1981, so it had to have been in December of 1981.		It is tough to exactly pinpoint the breakup of Strike Under.
