Boston Hc/punk Past/present

Boston has been a hardcore punk powerhouse since the '80s. Check out some really essential shit rrfrom the '80s to the 2000's (not really in order).
17Libyans
Libyans


Female-fronted mid-tempo punk. I think they had a song in Rock Band or something. Cool band.
16Peacebreakers
Demo


Best Boston demo of 2012.
15Bloodkrow Butcher
Anti-War


Unfortunately just broke up. Great d-beat hc/punk, similar to Green Beret.
14Savageheads
Demo


2nd best Boston demo this year.
13Male Nurses
Male Nurses


Super fast punk rock. For fans of Culo and School Jerks.
12Subclinix
Demo


Poppy songs about punk subjects. Police In My Eyes is a great track.
11Social Circkle
Expiration Date


Super similar to The Shitty Limits. Fast punk rock with a small garage rock influence.
10Green Beret
Violence Is Their Currency


UNRELENTLESS hardcore for d-beat punx.
9The Boston Strangler
Primitive


Kinda similar to The Rival Mob. Primitive is a ripper. Late '80s straight-edge/Rev Records throwback but with a tiny bit more punk
mixed in. Tuff as hell.
8The Rival Mob
Mob Justice


Boston's equivalent of Spine. (If you like hardcore more than punk, this is your shit.)
7Chain Rank
The Grip Demo


Best Boston demo of 2013.
6Vile (Boston)
Solution


Definitely one of the craziest '80s hardcore LPs. A band of outcasts write an album to offend the shit out of the Boston hardcore
scene. Some songs are just great punk songs (Suburban Blight), but others like "Homophobia" and ?5 to 10" speak of
discrimination and sexual abuse in not-so-friendly ways.
5Negative FX
Negative FX/Last Rights


"We ain't gonna stop, fuck you." (split with Last Rights, more classic straight edge)
4Gang Green
Preschool


Fast, ripping hardcore for drunks and skaters. Kill A Commie, Snob, Rabies. All jams.
3DYS
Brotherhood


One of the toughest, yet well thought out Boston straight edge bands. "More Than Fashion" is incredibly well written.
2SS Decontrol
Get It Away


Includes classics like Glue and No Reply. One of the best straight edge 7"s of all time.
1 N/A
This Is Boston, Not LA


One of the best '80s hardcore comps hands down. Features Kill A Commie by Gang Green, Straight Jacket by The Freeze, and
Boston Not LA by Jerry's Kids, among other jams.
