Philadelphia hardcore

Philadelphia hardcore

Philadelphia hardcore is hardcore punk created in Philadelphia, the associated subculture.

Because of its location, Philadelphia was an easy place for bands from New York and Washington, DC to play concerts. Venues such as the Love Club, East Side Club, Long march, Community Education Center (CEC), Abe's Steaks (a small sub shop), and later on The Kennel Club, staged concerts by hardcore bands such as: Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, SSD, Minor Threat, and Black Flag. The local hardcore scene drew from the city as well as South Jersey, North to Allentown and the surrounding suburbs.

An important source of exposing the Philadelphia region to this music was the DJ Jeff Jenkins at WKDU, 91.7 FM, Drexel University's radio station and Eddie "Hacksaw" and Lee Paris at University of Pennsylvania's WXPN, 88.5 FM. Music by some of the early Philadelphia hardcore bands where included on the 1982 compilation LP "Get Off My Back."
