Black Market Baby was an American hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C.They are considered one of the seminal groups that created the original hardcore scene in the Washington area, which along with Los Angeles and New York, became the most affluent hardcore scene in America during the early 1980s, considered the high tide of the musical movement.

History

The original line up was lead vocalist Boyd Farrell, bassist Paul Cleary of Snitch (Cleary was also in Trenchmouth), guitarist Keith Campbell of D. Ceats and drummer Tommy Carr from the Penetrators.

In 1986, Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat recorded what would have been BMB's second LP. When the band could not find a label to release the album they broke up, playing a farewell show in January 1988. They loosely re-formed in 1993, playing the occasional show and recording sparingly before calling it quits again in 1997.
