80s Hardcore

Portraits of…
Boston Punk Culture From The 80′s

The two east coast cities that had the biggest impact on Hardcore in the ’80s were D.C. and Boston (Sorry NYC). The bands coming out of these places resonated with me and all of my homies. We did not get mad when they named their comp “This Is Boston Not L.A” – we actually thought it was funny. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I watched this kick-ass documentary called All Ages-Boston Hardcore The Film and realized what really happened over there to create such an important scene. Today CVLT Nation would like to salute one of the most important cities for 80’s hardcore, Boston. Now it’s time to have a look at these portraits of a community that touched the world. I know when I stare at these photos, I realize that what was happening in Beantown was taking place all over the world. Also, I can’t help but feel all of the creative energy many of these youth had. The DIY spirit reigned supreme in Boston, that’s for sure…Personally, I want to say thank you to this city for giving me so many rad bands to listen to…Respect due to the whole crew that created All Ages-Boston Hardcore The Film and photographer Phil in Phlash. Watch the Documentary HERE!!!
