Girls Against Boys

Quartet led by Scott McCloud formed in Washington, D.C.; noted for a distinctive two-bass setup, rhythm‑driven arrangements and a fusion of hardcore, post‑punk and noise influences. Reviews and interviews document releases on indie labels and a brief major‑label period with Geffen.

Members mentioned in reviews: Scott McCloud (vocals/guitar), Eli Janney (keyboards/second bass), Johnny Temple (bass), Alexis Fleisig (drums). Reviews note the band's Washington DC origins, a two-bass approach, releases including Venus Luxure No.1 Baby, Cruise Yourself and You Can't Fight What You Can't See (2002), and label relationships referenced (Touch and Go, Geffen, Jade Tree in reviews).

DeBaser reviews praise Girls Against Boys for a distinctive, rhythm-driven sound built around a two-bass setup and obsessive, mechanical grooves. Critics compare them to Gang of Four, The Fall and Sonic Youth and highlight albums Venus Luxure No.1 Baby and Cruise Yourself. Live reports describe powerful, violent performances. Their major‑label stint (Geffen) ended before a return to indie releases.

For:Fans of post-hardcore, noise rock, 90s alternative and readers who like rhythm-driven, underground guitar music.
