Black Market Baby was a Washington, D.C. hardcore punk band.
History
Formed by Boyd Farrell and Paul Cleary of Snitch (Cleary was also in Trenchmouth), with Keith Campbell of D. Ceats and Tommy Carr from the Penetrators.
In 1986, Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat recorded what would have been their second LP. When the band could not find a label to release the album they broke up, playing a farewell gig in January 1988. They loosely re-formed in 1993, playing the occasional show and recording sparingly before calling it quits again in 1997.
