Jim Jacobi began the Crap Detectors in 1977 by recording all tracks (except drums played by Herb Hill) for a basement recording called Victims of the Media. This was followed by a 45 released in 1979 called Police State. The first live band was formed in 1980 which lead to over 12 bands until 1998. The music has been described as similar to early 60’s punk -Velvet Underground/MC5/Stooges- rather than similar to Sex Pistols/Ramones. The Crap Detectors is an ongoing project by Jim Jacobi and is still active.
