Showcase Showdown was a pogo punk band that came out of Boston in the early 1990's. They toured the Northeast extensively and became notorious for their tongue-in-cheek songs, mostly about colonial heritage. While other punk bands were singing about punk's heyday of 1977, The Showcase went back to their roots in 1777.

Showcase Showdown released only two full-length albums, "Permanent Stains" and "Appetite of Kings." They released most of their work on 7" singles and were featured on several split EPs including a split with Blanks 77 titled "Drunk at the Karaoke Bar" featuring duets by inebriated members of both bands.

The lineup of the group consisted of Ping Pong on vocals, Victoria Arthur on bass, Cloherty on guitar, and Chez Nips on drums. Since breaking up, Arthur and Cloherty have formed the group The Spitzz.
