DC Punk Archive celebrated the 10th Anniversary Fest with community events throughout October. Bands like Hammered Hulls, The Messthetics, and Flowers for the Dead took to the stage on a perfect day and spinning from DJ Crown Vic. Film screenings of Punk the Capital and Scream Meets the Hangmen, DIY craft nights creating zines, screen printing, record booths, and Q&A with DC illustrator, Evan Keeling at Lost Origins Gallery. All of the events were free and open to everyone; spectators of all ages came out and supported the DC Punk scene. The DC Public Library, DC Punk Archive, Lost Origins, bands, volunteers, and vendors all outdid themselves. See you next year.
