Balboa

Philadelphia serves as the origin point for hardcore band Balboa, who have sustained an ongoing assault on the system through shifting lineups ever since 2000. Their 2001 demo opened the route to a self-titled debut album in 2003, followed by the Manifeste Cannibale EP in 2005; by then the lineup featured vocalist Peter Bloom, guitarists Dave Pacifico and Mike Savretsky, bassist Armando Morales, and drummer Drew Juergens.
