Girls Against Boys

Girls Against Boys is often credited with being the band that made hardcore sexy.

With a pedigree deep in Washington, D.C.'s legendary punk scene, the band's members migrated to New York City and gave the music on which they were raised a decidedly swanky twist.

Though GVSB's music is certainly loud, aggressive, and muscular, it's also infused with touches of electronica and a moody almost noirish tone that give it a distinct identity amidst a sea of loud, angry indie-rock bands.
