Per Montgomery County:
“Since the late 1970s, the punk rock subculture has thrived in Montgomery County. The time between the opening (1977) and closing (2002) dates of Yesterday & Today Records–a punk scene hub that both inspired and employed countless punks–was a profoundly active time for punk music and culture in Montgomery County. Starting Monday, Nov. 27, Montgomery History will present a free, online look at “Suburban Wasteland: Punk Culture in Montgomery County from 1977 to 2002.” The event will be viewable for a one-week period.

John Davis is the host of the talk, which was originally presented at the 2022 Montgomery County History Conference. The discussion explores the bands, record labels, fanzines, record stores and other pieces of the local punk ecosystem that made Montgomery County an integral part of the highly influential Washington, D.C.-area punk subculture. To view the presentation, which will be available through Dec. 3, go to Events from November 27 – September 19 (montgomeryhistory.org).”
