Quincy Punx formed in Quincy, Massachusetts in the late 1970s, with Anthony "Ant" Valicenti on vocals. They played local clubs and built a following with their raw, energetic approach. Their song "Brady Bunch" took aim at the idealized American family sitcom, and tracks like "5 State Killing Spree" and "Beer Run" showed their knack for blunt, catchy punk.
They released albums like "Burn Rubber" in 1982, "Nothing to Prove" in 1984, and "Over the Edge" in 1986. Their sound pulled from punk, metal, and hardcore, and they became a recognizable part of the Boston hardcore scene. The lineup included Mike "Raz" Razzi on guitar, Chris "Dust" Doherty on bass, and Chris "Speedy" Caldwell on drums.
Quincy Punx songs often dealt with messy, everyday frustrations, "Beer Bong Vomitorium," "Beer Shits," "Blowin' Chunks." They weren't trying to be subtle. That directness, plus the local shows and a few solid records, kept them going through the '80s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
