Washington D.C. has a rich history of punk and hardcore bands that pioneered both genres while also bringing political and social issues to the forefront. Just outside of D.C., in the suburbs of Northern Virginia, Celebration Summer is informed by those very roots and writing their own politically charged anthems in a Post-Trump America. Their brand of late 80's/early 90's melodic punk is unpolished and channels the spirit of Leatherface.
