Chris Doherty (guitar), Bill Manley (bass) and Mike Dean (drums) started the band in 1980 and broke up in 1983.
Doherty reformed Gang Green the following year, and the band experienced numerous lineup changes until its dissolution for the second time in 1992.
The band was influential in the formation of the East Coast hardcore punk scene, and went on to become one of the forerunners of crossover thrash and speed metal in the late 1980s.
In mid-1983, the group disbanded, as lead singer Chris Doherty had already joined the band Jerry's Kids,[1] for their album Is This My World?.
Glen was in The Northern Skulls from 2018-2021 with Jonah Jenkins (Only Living Witness, Milligram), Johnny Mullin and Michael Lefebvre.
Glen is currently in Spiller with Jack Clark long-time drummer of Jerry's Kids, Greg Fiore and Chris Pearson from Green Magnet School.
Before The Meatmen covered "Alcohol", Tesco Vee's Hate Police featuring Keith Campbell and Tommy "Dog" Cohen, released it on a 7" on Sympathy For The Record Industry.
This incarnation of Gang Green consisted of Doherty, Fritz Erickson (guitar), Joe Gittleman (bass) and former Jerry's Kids drummer Brian Betzger.
[4] After touring the United States with Social Distortion in 1990, Gang Green experienced a few more lineup shuffles before being dropped by Roadrunner and going on hiatus for several years in which Doherty founded the bands Klover (Mercury Records) and Hamerd.
In 2013, Doherty teamed up with local Cincinnati music veterans Chris Donelly, Dale Kishbaugh and Sean Boyle.
