American post-hardcore band Girls Against Boys has released six full-length studio albums, two studio EPs, and numerous singles.
Girls Against Boys initially released the EP Nineties vs. Eighties in 1990. It was followed up by their first actual full-length album, Tropic of Scorpio, in 1992. After signing to the label Touch and Go Records, they released a trilogy of albums which consisted of 1993's Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby, 1994's Cruise Yourself (which contained their first charting single "(I) Don't Got a Place"), and 1996's House of GVSB. The band then signed to the major label Geffen Records and released the album Freak*on*ica in 1998, which spawned their most successful single "Park Avenue". After departing from the label, they released the 2002 album You Can't Fight What You Can't See, and it was the band's final full-length album since they entered a period of sporadic activity afterwards. Girls Against Boys eventually released the EP entitled The Ghost List in 2013.
In addition to the eight main releases, Girls Against Boys released various other singles and outside contributions. The non-album single "Sexy Sam" in 1994 had contained one song from each of their prior albums up to that point, their Joy Division cover "She's Lost Control" was released as a standalone single in 1995, a promotional compilation by Geffen Records titled Fuse the Power of Now was released in 1998, and Girls Against Boys contributed to the majority of the soundtrack to the film Series 7: The Contenders in 2001.
