The discography for the Minutemen, an American punk rock band, includes four studio albums, eight extended plays, one live album and seven compilations. Formed in 1980 by guitarist D. Boon and bassist Mike Watt, the Minutemen signed to the Californian independent record label SST Records at their second concert.
The Minutemen's The Punch Line is a solid debut album, and I think that things only got better from here, which could be a con for this album because when compared to later albums, it seems less. The chemistry between the band members is excellent and they show a nice blend between various musical styles and tempos.

The Punch Line is the first 12-inch studio album and third record release by influential American punk rock band Minutemen, and the fourth-ever release from SST Records. After their previous release, Paranoid Time, sold out its 300-copy pressing, Greg Ginn invited the band to record another album. Less than half the length of most LPs, the total playing time for all 18 songs is a mere 15 minutes. The album was an early milestone release for the band and SST.
