Steve Almaas, Suicide Commandos Founder, Passes at 69 | Huntsville News

Steve Almaas, the legendary frontman of pioneering punk band Suicide Commandos and a beloved teacher, has died at 69 after a courageous battle with cancer that returned and spread. Known for his raw energy and iconic Minneapolis sound, Almaas helped shape punk’s early days with two EPs and an album before going on to form new projects and reunite his band decades later — even releasing a new album in 2017. His resilience and gratitude during his illness, along with his passion for music and education, left a lasting mark. Our hearts go out to his family and fans as they mourn this profound loss.
