By the late 80s, DC's punk scene had produced dozens of bands, but only a handful of the musicians were women. This wasn’t a fair representation of the DC punk community. The members of Fire Party were aware of the situation, but while they were clear about their desire to play together, they tried to avoid the "all-girl band" tag. They released two excellent EPs on Dischord and disbanded in 1990.
