The Anthrax

The Anthrax

The Anthrax was an all-ages music venue that hosted punk and hardcore shows during the early/mid 1980s. The actual club was located in the basement of a makeshift art gallery on the then dilapidated west side of Stamford, Connecticut.

To the many national touring acts that played there, The Anthrax was as essential a stop as punk rock landmarks like New York City's CBGB or 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California.

Among the many influential bands that frequented the establishment were Black Flag, 7 Seconds, MDC, Descendents, Government Issue, NOFX, Die Kreuzen and Dag Nasty.

In 1986, The Anthrax closed its doors in Stamford, and within a year reopened at a larger location in nearby Norwalk, Connecticut, which flourished in a similar manner until 1990, when a neighboring apartment complex won the decision in a zoning dispute.
