Phoenix had a sizable hardcore punk scene in the 1980's that focused mainly around three bands from the city's east side, the Feederz, Meat Puppets and JFA.

Meat Puppets, led by the Kirkwood brothers, Curt and Cris, signed to Greg Ginn's SST Records and released several albums that proved to be highly influential on groups like Nirvana.

Other bands include Sun City Girls, Giant Sand, and Mighty Sphincter.

The scene, limited to only a few gay bars and punk clubs in run-down neighborhoods, was largely over by 1986 but has recently grown immensely along with the popularity of many local hardcore bands.
