    Fugazi was still playing 6-7 years ago, I really dug the Black Sea/Decahedron as well.
    The Cassettes' new album sounds pretty rad.

    Also, all scenes ebb and flow, I think DC is probably just in a downturn right now, kind of like most non-poppy scenes around the country.

    Set To Explode
    Good Clean Fun (although they've been around for 10 years so I don't know if they count)
    Trial By Fire
    86 Mentality
    Striking Distance

    That was easy.

    A Day In Black And White, check "Notes" to see how the distinctly angular DC sound is evolving 20 years down the line

    fugazi, trial by fire, the make up, dechahedron, damnation ad, battery, avail (who are actually routed in Northern Virginia/DC and moved very early on to be a Richmond band), dead meadow

    Capital Ballroom isn't in walking distance to shit and really isn't "important" in any way.

    they did include the black cat's history in the 14th/Ust video. and i seriously doubt the capital ballroom/nation had any importance to the punk scene.

    Mass Movement Of The Moth

    rachel jacobs, mosquito death squadron, max levine ensemble...

    but besides, the whole point of the thing is to include Dc punk history in the larger scope of DC history. period. it's a group that does historical stuff, so why in the world would they look at now?! it wouldn't make sense.

    and DC's scene is surprisingly still very different from any other scene i've experienced. i'm not exagerating when i say that one year there has changed my life.

    Crispus Attucks
    Worn Thin
    Affront
    Super Chinchilla Rescue Mission
    No Justice
    The Suspects
    Positive State
    The 22s
    Lickity Split
    Pg 99
    De Nada

    I could go on, but if you aren't a DC native, there's a chance these bands won't hit your radar
