Vic Chalker (born Victor Kenyon), otherwise known as "Crush Pop", is best known for his role in founding the rock band AFI as its bassist. Reportedly, Vic did not know how to play bass before he and classmates Mark Stopholese, David Marchand and
Adam Carson decided to form ahardcore punk outfit one day at lunch [ [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10466716/more_havok/3 More Havok : Rolling Stone ] ] . Vic lost interest in AFI not long after the band's conception, however, and left after only eight months.oda Pop
He would go on to join Santa Cruz punk band Soda Pop Fuck You, a band signed to
New Disorder Records and Bad Monkey Records [ [http://www.newdisorder.com/mp3store/band.php?idx=32 Soda Pop Fuck You ] ] . Soda Pop Fuck You would find minor success in the local scene, headlining shows [ [http://santacruz.indymedia.org/otherpress/index.php?limit_start=184# Santa Cruz Indymedia: otherpress ] ] . The success seemed to be enough to merit a move to Oakland [ [http://www.myspace.com/sodapopfuckyou MySpace ] ] , perhaps to be closer to venues. The group disbanded, however, with only one LP to their name; "Timing is Everything".Going solo
After the splitting up of Soda Pop Fuck You, Vic has gone on to be somewhat productive as solo artist "Crush Pop" [ [http://www.myspace.com/crushpop MySpace ] ] , though little is known as to what his plans are for his future as a musician.
