ABOUT INFORMED SOURCES

Informed Sources was a primary force in Philadelphia's music scene during the 1980s. Sprung from blunt punk rock origins, the group quickly grew artistically, pushing the boundaries of "punk" with a literate approach to lyrics and thoughtful-but-powerful arrangements, while sharing stages with legendary bands ranging from Black Flag and X to Dead Kennedys and Bad Brains.
