The Kids R Alright Vol 1: A Back to School Rockstravaganza Free!! All Ages!!

Petrichor

Alumnae of GirlsRockDC, Petrichor is shaped by the legacy of DC punk, but has evolved into its future. Their music explores the psychic overload of coming of age when the world’s on fire. Idioteq.com writes, "DC’s music scene gave them both a history and a community, and they’ve used it to carve out a small, sharp space of their own."

RenRiot

DC rock/punk/grunge band using music as a form of audio journaling. RenRiot channels themes of identify, intimacy, and the weight of moving forward into every track.
