Pagan Babies is an American hardcore punk band from Philadelphia, PA, founded by Michael J. McManus, vocals and lyrics, Eric Squadroni, lead guitar, Mark Pingitore, bass, Dan McGinnis, rhythm guitar, and Bruce Boyd, drums. From their first practices in the Fall of 1986 to their last shows in the Winter of 1989, the Pagan Babies were an active and influential band in the hardcore/punk community. The Pagan Babies fused hardcore punk, with rap and hip hop. The graffiti styled album art work was created by the drummer Bruce Boyd (and later, drummer/DJ for the San Francisco, California band, Grotus). Although the Pagan Babies are no longer together, the band still forms yearly to play local shows in the Philadelphia area.
