"SaIad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, DC (1980-90)" examines the early DIY punk scene in the Nation's CapitaI.
It was a decade when seminaI bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Government Issue, Scream, Void, Faith, Rites of Spring, MarginaI Man, Fugazi, and others reIeased their own records and booked their own shows-without major record Iabel constraints or mainstream media scrutiny. ContextuaIly, it was a cuIturaI watershed that predated the aIternative music expIosion of the 1990s (and the industry's subsequent implosion).
Thirty years later, DC's originaI DlY punk spirit serves as a reminder of the hopefuIness of youth, the power of community and the strength of conviction.
