Good ol' Vice / Noisey takes a dozen dirty-but-trueish cheap shots at Philly then gives props to some of this city's (and City Paper's) favorite bands of the moment. We're talking Hop Along, Cayetana, Radiator Hospital, Heavy Bangs, Little Big League and many more.

And at the moment, Philly’s greatest asset is that it is home to the most prolific, most honest punk scene in the country. Much like parked cars on Broad Street after a Phillies World Series loss (or win, it doesn’t really matter), the Philly scene is on fire right now, producing band after band putting out good music and building a close-knit community.
