Punch was a hardcore punk band formed in 2006 in San Francisco, California, known for their fast, aggressive style and socio-political lyrics. Led by vocalist Meghan O’Neil Pennie, the band's music was characterized by short, intense songs that combined elements of hardcore, powerviolence, and punk rock. Notable for being female-fronted in a predominantly male genre, Punch left a significant impact on the underground punk scene. Their influential works include their self-titled debut album (2008) and "They Don't Have to Believe" (2014), both of which received critical acclaim for their raw energy and uncompromising lyrical themes.
