Personality Crisis was a punk rock band formed in 1979 in Winnipeg, Canada. Personality Crisis is widely credited with having a more complex sound than most other punk rock bands of the early 1980s while retaining the power of the early 1980s punk sound.
Personality Crisis released one LP, Creatures for Awhile, in 1983, as well as several demo tapes.
After the breakup of the band in 1984, band member Jon Card went on to join SNFU, D.O.A. and the Subhumans. Singer Mitch Funk played in other bands, including Honest John, while guitarist RIchard Duguay would later work with Guns N' Roses, including contributing guitar tracks for "The Spaghetti Incident?".
Personality Crisis songs have been covered by SNFU and The Forbidden Dimension.
