Not a whole lot written up about The Creeps (or at least what made it online), but they did get mentioned in this ManBQue retrospective on hardcore from 2014:
The scene in Ohio was pretty diverse you had punk kids and hardcore kids at the same shows, where today shows seem to be missing that diversity you saw in the 90s. Some of the bands at the time were Twelve Tribes (Dayton), X Battleground X (Dayton), Pitboss 2000 (Columbus), The Creeps (Columbus), Integrity (Cleveland), Run Devil Run (Cleveland), Ringworm (Cleveland). Not far from Cleveland you had the Erie, PA scene with greats like Shockwave, Disciple, Brother’s Keeper, and Problem Solver Revolver.
Let’s also not forget the violence that went on. In Dayton you always heard of a certain “crew” beating up people 5 on 1. This was also around the time when militant straight edge was becoming a big thing. While I never saw too much violence, there was always a chance of something going down.
