Cringer

Cringer was an American punk rock band originally from Manoa, Hawaii, active from 1985 to 1991. The band was formed by Lance Hahn and Gardner Maxam, who remained the band's two consistent members and later formed J Church. They released a series of vinyl records and were formative in the Hawaiian punk rock community before relocating to Los Angeles and later San Francisco. At the time of his death in 2007, songwriter Hahn was remembered for his prolific output, dedication to art and activism, and representation of Asian Americans in punk rock, all of which began with his time in Cringer.
