Minutemen

Minutemen were an American punk trio from San Pedro, California, active from 1980 to 1985. Guitarist and vocalist D. Boon, bassist Mike Watt, and drummer George Hurley played concise, tightly arranged songs that blended hardcore punk with funk, jazz, and other influences, often with politically minded lyrics and a strong DIY approach. The band dissolved after Boon's death in 1985.
