Terminal Beach was the short-lived punk band featuring Steve Bjorklund (Strike Under), Dave Thomas (Da), John Haggerty (Naked Raygun), and Scott Harris. They must have formed after SU's breakup in late 1981 or early 1982, because Chicago Punk Pix has a flyer of them performing in May 1982. In a 1999 interview in the Big Takeover fanzine, Haggerty said that when Terminal Beach played with Naked Raygun, he would join Raygun onstage to play saxophone on "Swingo". This eventually led to Haggery joining Raygun in 1983. Terminal Beach did not last long, and shortly after their breakup, Steve formed Breaking Circus in Chicago, and then later moved to Minnesota.
