25 mixes with tracks by “gray matter”

...in the summer of ’85 there was renewed spirit in DC, often referred to as 'revolution summer' this included a handful of bands who preferred smaller more intimate venues and focused on a more personal and introspective interpretation of punk rock...

just a playlist inspired by that 'scene'. not meant to be definitive in any way, just having some fun

featuring Rites of Spring, Embrace, Moss Icon and other lesser known bands associated with that time and place
