Pure Hell Concert History

Pure Hell was a punk rock band, formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1974. Noted as the first African American punk band, they later influenced the Afropunk scene. The band had little commercial success, only releasing one single ("These Boots are Made for Walking" b/w "No Rules") and one studio album (Noise Addiction), which went unreleased for almost three decades.
