ABOUT

MEET SCOTT

Punk is forever. It’s who I am. It’s what I do.

I’m Scott, and punk isn’t just music—it’s a way of life. I grew up in the DC punk scene, touring, playing, and living for the energy of punk. In 2008, I took a detour to Florida as a middle school teacher, but punk never left my veins.

My bandmate Mike (Call in Dead) and I started booking shows, blending my DC roots with his Port Charlotte connections to launch DCxPC Live. When the pandemic hit, we pivoted—live-streaming shows, pressing them to vinyl, and capturing that raw, electric energy like the iconic VMLive series.

In 2023, life shifted. My family moved to New York’s Hudson Valley, and Mike stepped away—though the brotherhood remains in the name. I carried DCxPC Live into a new era, expanding beyond live recordings with Live & Dead—live on Side A, studio tracks on Side B.

Releases now come from across the U.S. and beyond -even Costa Rica. We’re still throwing shows, building community, and documenting the scene the best way we know how—live.

Raw sound. Real community. Punk rock love. That’s the DCxPC Live way.

THE BACK LINE

A shout-out to a few of the awesome people giving their time and energy to help DCxPC Live do what we do!

  • Arsenic/AL

    SHOW SUPPORT

    Al is the go-to for roadie work, door duties, and merch support at DCxPC Live events. He’s all about making an impact, supporting others, and staying true to himself while having a blast along the way.

  • Savannah and Dez

    SHOW SUPPORT & LIVE SOUND

    In addition to helping rock the sound boards at many DCxPC Shows or providing additional support Dez and Savannah are doing a lot around town. Savannah is the chaos-wrangling co-founder of Poison Paradise Records, handling logistics, planning, and keeping the dream on track. Dez is the sonic architect behind the label, leading the charge on production and audio wizardry. Together, they run Poison Paradise Records—an artist-forward, punk-rooted label built to support loud misfits with something to say and a sound that hits hard.

  • Josh Danger

    LIVE RECORDING/MIXING AND MASTERING

    Joshua "Danger" Dobbs has been thrashing for the RunnAmuckS since 1996, explored the spirited, youthful tales of coming of age in punk rock in the south through creative writing, and has been involved in Punk Rock Production at Danger Room Recording Service since 2003. Since 2020, he's served as an Audio Mechanic for DCxPC Live helping with recording, mixing and mastering

  • Marni

    STRATEGIC & CREATIVE SUPPORT

    With a background in punk and a passion for creativity, Marni assists Scott with DCxPC Live’s daily operations. While she’s often in the background, you might still catch her on stage every now and then. These days, you’re more likely to find her dancing to ‘80s music than in the pit—Phil Collins has mellowed out this rocker chick.

  • Willie

    SHOW SUPPORT

    Street punk from lower upstate NY who enjoys attending local shows. I'm Just here to support my scene and be a stepping stone on the path to making punk more of what we all love.

  • Awesome human taking a self-portrait

    Put Over Photo

    A frequent photographer at DCxPC Live shows. Put Over Photo started ringside at pro wrestling events in 2018 — which is where the name comes from. In wrestling, to "put someone over" means making them look good while you eat the pin. That same approach drives my photography: make the band, the promoter, and the event look their best, eat the pin, roll out of the ring, and let them have their moment.

  • Dave Boccio

    Dave Boccio is a freelance photographer located in the greater Hudson Valley. Dave first fell in love with the art of photography when he lived in Florida and started photographing alligators in the wild. Once Dave moved back to NY, the people of NYC called upon him and street photography became his calling. Dave is best known for his work in the streets of New York City taking candid photographs of the people of NYC

  • Phil

    When he’s not rocking the drums with Poughkeepsie punk band RBNX, Phil’s behind the board helping out with sound whenever he can. He’s a solid human, and the support he gives to DCxPC Live and the scene is truly invaluable.
