Slapshot
Slapshot formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985 from the remnants of Negative FX and DYS, with vocalist Jack 'Choke' Kelly as the band's most recognizable figure. At a moment when many first-wave Boston hardcore bands were drifting toward crossover thrash, Slapshot doubled down on the raw speed and directness of the original Boston sound, and their debut Back on the Map (1986) helped sustain the scene's identity through the late 1980s. The band's straight-edge lyrics and uncompromising stance made them influential well beyond the United States, particularly in Germany and Belgium. After nearly four decades of intermittent activity, Slapshot announced their farewell tour in 2025.
