DCs Alt-Rock Vanguards
Gist, a three-piece rock band from Arlington, VA, has been performing for the last 10 years and has weathered the changing musical landscape. Together, this triumvirate consisting of Nayan Bhula (guitar and vocals); Fred Burton (drums and percussion); and Finley Martin (bass) are keeping DCs alt-rock traditions alive and well today.
A Neon Rush to the Head
Inspiration is everywhere.It’s in the sheer determination of our winter Olympians (U.S.A!); it’s in the hearts of our neighbors who lend a hand to those crossing icy streets or digging out snow-buried cars; it’s in the talents of our musicians and artists that keep us smiling or dancing when the weather outside is frightful. Recently, I was inspired by the young, yet incredibly talented musicians of The Neon Rush–a rock band that exudes promise and makes me kick myself for quitting those piano lessons in high school.
Drinking Buddies
Drunk Buddies’ songs are centered mainly on the unique angst of living within the District. They take a simple approach to their music, two people with a drum set and a guitar, playing trance inducing riffs with thundering rhythms. A Melodic Hardcore/Alt rock band that will remind you of the old days of DC without being stale or repetitive.
The Landscape of Star FK Radium
If you heard that a band had named themselves after a stadium, what exactly would you expect their music to sound like? Something larger than life? Something you could bang your head to? Something, dare I say, you could fist pump to? Although Star FK Radium is somewhat named for the landmark of HFStivals past, you’re currently more likely to see them at Galaxy Hut rather than the Verizon Center. But the music created by this DC trio has a lot to say, even without lyrics, regardless of the venue.
