Naturally, the destructive nature of his sets often resulted in venues and equipment companies severing ties with Allin. He also incorporated blood into his performance by pouring it onto his body and spraying it across the stage and audience.

He appeared with groups like The Cedar Street Sluts, The Scumfucs, and the Texas Nazis, garnering a reputation as a hardcore underground rocker.
