Pure Hell was one of the earliest all Black punk-rock bands, established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1974,[1] during the high point of punk culture in New York City, London and Los Angeles.[2][3]
Amid the pioneers of the post-garage, acid rock, glam-theatre era of the late 60's/early 70's, Pure Hell were among the first of their kind, comparable to the MC5, Sex Pistols, Dead Boys, Germs, and fellow afropunkers the Bad Brains who have signified Pure Hell as an early influence. Commercially, the band had little success, and only released one single ("These Boots are Made for Walking" b/w "No Rules")[4] and one album (Noise Addiction), which went unreleased for 28 years.[1] Pure Hell also has an unreleased album produced in the mid 1990s by former members of L.A. Guns, Nine Inch Nails, and Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, entitled The Black Box.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
