Welcome to the Philly Punk page. A page devoted to classic punk, post-punk, etc. from the Philadelphia area '77-85. I've decided to cut the discography short at '85, which means that the discographies for great bands like Ruin, Mcrad etc are incomplete. I mainly decided to stop at '85 because I started buying records then and have since started to dislike a lot of late '80s punk and hardcore. I've attempted to come up with as complete a discography on the subject as possible. Let us know if we're missing anything and what you think of the site. Come back soon, we'll have a lot of new features such as mp3s, band member and production credits, and Go-Go Records and Red Music discographies. Also please note that my cassette image does not necessarily represent an actual release.
A's s/t lp (Arista)1979 Great punk powerpop. Can't imagine why they didn't have a hit off this record. CIA and After Last Night are great songs.
