Silver Abuse was one of the original punk bands in Chicago, forming around 1977 or 1978. There were various versions of Silver Abuse, but the original version starred Santiago Durango and Jim Colao, founding members of Naked Raygun. Silver Abuse broke up for good in 1983.
Silver Abuse I
According to a Durango interview in Forced Exposure, the original Silver Abuse was a bunch of like-minded high school punk fans who couldn't play their instruments and liked to get drunk on wine and do drugs. They were a five piece and only made it through one song at their very first gig. Opening up at a loft party thrown by Tutu and the Pirates, they started off with the always popular Jews Must Die. That was enough for the crowd... they played one more gig before ending it after Durango left the band. This version of SA never recorded anything except some "cheesy cassettes"
