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.

Savannah is the chaos-wrangling co-founder of Poison Paradise Records, handling logistics, planning, and keeping the dream on track.

    @put.over.photo

    A frequent photographer at DCxPC Live shows. @put.over.photo started ringside at pro wrestling events in 2018 capturing the chaos and choreography of professional wrestling. That same spirit drives his photography today. Aaron aims to capture authenticity in motion: unposed, and fully alive. His work honors the energy and identity of subcultures that often go overlooked. Through each frame, he wants you to feel what it was like to be there: sweat in the air, heart in your throat, and the noise still ringing in your ears long after the last song ends.
