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. GVSB jumped from indie labels to major labels and back again during its heyday, and as of 2007, the band continued to tour and record.
Members of Girls Against Boys include, or have included, Johnny Temple, Brendan Canty, Scott McCloud, Alexis Fleisig, and Eli Janney.
