Locked in the Basement Vol. 1 - 20 Bands, 20 Songs, 1 Basement, 1 Hand Poured Red and Black Vinyl!
DCxPC Live & Locked in the Basement Vol. 1 is a blistering snapshot of underground punk and hardcore, capturing the raw energy of twenty bands recorded in a Bethlehem, PA basement between 2020 and 2023. Originally released as a ten-volume cassette series, this compilation brings together the heaviest, most chaotic, and powerful performances, each handpicked by the bands.
Recorded by Jimmy Wolff and mastered by Matt Molchany at Shards Recording Studio, this album embodies true DIY spirit—where distortion, sweat, and pure punk energy collide. From Carrousel’s old-school hardcore to World Breaker’s rock-and-roll-infused punk, every track is a sonic assault. Video Massacre channels 80s horror into hardcore, while Christ Chopper blends punk and metal with eerie, shrieking intensity.
Soji and Urban Waste bring relentless hardcore power, while Pubicide and Dour drag the listener through grind-infused and sludgy, down-tuned chaos. One Sided and Anticitizen deliver raw street punk fury, while Disaster Artist shakes things up with groove-heavy bass-driven punk. Spetters’ art-punk weirdness and Chiseled Lilies’ melodic hooks add diversity, while Pale Fang, Alement, and Nightfall bring deep-cutting punk anthems and politically charged lyrics.
Co-released by DCxPC Live, this record isn’t just a compilation—it’s a document of a thriving scene, a basement-fueled explosion of raw power, distortion, and underground resilience. For fans of real punk energy, Locked in the Basement Vol. 1 is a must-have slab of vinyl that proves the scene is alive, loud, and untamed.
