Girls Against Boys' dual-bass attack and Scott McCloud's wheezy sing-speak vocals (reminiscent of <a href="spotify:artist:6WoTvA9qinpHtSRJuldYh6">the Fall</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:2OkI92pmbuPtH6b1GDtrvJ">Mark E. Smith</a>) produce an energetic, if sometimes noisy, sound that would probably annoy listeners if it weren't for the D.C. band's great <a href="spotify:artist:62sC6lUEWRjbFqXpMmOk4G">Fugazi</a>-influenced songs. Girls Against Boys' 1989 debut album, Tropic of Scorpio, appeared on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Adult+Swim%22">Adult Swim</a> label, followed by a leap up to the popular indie <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Touch+%26+Go%22">Touch & Go</a> for Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby. The albums that followed -- 1995's Cruise Yourself and 1996's House of GVSB -- charted the group's growing fortunes. Their jump to major label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Geffen%22">Geffen</a> with 1998's Freak*on*ica resulted in higher sales but more negative reviews.
After a lengthy hiatus, the band returned to the underground with a contract for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Jade+Tree%22">Jade Tree</a> and a 2002 full-length, You Can't Fight What You Can't See. Girls Against Boys broke up the following year, but subsequently reunited to tour Europe (with a lineup now featuring bassist John Schmersal from <a href="spotify:artist:3jJxGc6wl7xvZHSg8tg61V">Enon</a>) in February 2005. The group also scheduled a tour of the Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia for February 2009. In 2013, Girls Against Boys released their first album of all-original material in over ten years with the EP Ghost List. ~ John Bush, Rovi
