Terminal Beach

Terminal Beach was the short-lived punk band featuring Steve Bjorklund (Strike Under), Dave Thomas (Da), John Haggerty (Naked Raygun), and Scott Harris. CR #19 announced their formation, which means they came to be in February or March of 1982. As for their first show, Chicago Punk Pix has a flyer of them performing in May 1982. Terminal Beach did not last long, and shortly after their breakup, Steve formed Breaking Circus in Chicago, and then later moved to Minnesota.
