  • Suburban Decay is a punk band inspired by 80s hardcore and 90s skate punk. Playing around the DMV for the past few years, SD is a band with loud tunes, thoughtful lyrics, and plenty of energy.

  • Born out of a post-college ska/punk act, Jesse, Kevin, and Adam re-branded circa 2010 as a 3-piece playing all over the DC & Baltimore area ever since. Influenced by 90's rock and 2000’s punk we made up our own genre, post-ska/punk, evolving from a horn-driven sound to a polished beer-fueled onslaught. We're a versatile DIY band that can adapt to most bills, catering to a variety of audiences.

  • Hailing from Washington DC, Curse Words have spent the past 10 years writing spaced out pop punk; with socio-political songs pretentiously masquerading as post apocalyptic sci-fi lyrics. They believe in the power of friendship, community and the importance of being as energetic and entertaining on stage as possible.

  • 2010s DC rock staples are back for their first show in 6 years! From DC Rock Live blog: Sotano “starts with a loose post glam rock and punk it up in the way of the NY Dolls and grind it out in a garage meets pub rock style”, and “ Their performance sounded like the singular narrative of a long, adventurous highway ride... bandmates provide an energetic classic-rock vibe to their songs, lending an AC/DC swagger to the music before shifting into a bluesy stomp. Sotano gives the sense of setting out for a prize in the great wide open while enjoying every minute of the chase.”

  • Straddling the line between alternative and hard rock, The Heavy Editors' are bringing guitar-oriented rock back in unapologetic fashion. "The Heavy Editors make pure post-punk power pop, exquisitely-crafted and impeccably played…real rock and roll played by musicians with real chops." --Radio Free Charleston
