about

Scanner is an old school punk rock band, formed in Pennsylvania in 1979, and we are heavily influenced by Dead Boys, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Plasmatics, Stiff Little Fingers, and the Clash.

Scanner played throughout York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Gettysburg, PA; and Baltimore/D.C. areas.

We were formed by Joe Brady and Junnie Fortney after playing with various lineups during 1977-78. We reunited after 30+ years in 2012, were joined by Troy Alwine on drums, and headed to the studio, where we finally recorded our tunes from back then properly.
