Though only active for a couple of years, Executioner helped pioneerthe early 80s hardcore crossover sound in West Coast punk. The younggroup floored audiences, sharing the stage with Social Distortion, BadBrains, Crucifix, Fang, and more. They disbanded in 1983, and sadlythe only official release was a handful of demo tracks on the GrowingPains skate cassette.
