present tense: dc punk and diy right now
Present Tense: DC Punk and DIY, Right Now is a photo book of images from DC punk, hardcore, and DIY bands that are active and recently active in the scene. Captured from 2015 - 2019, these photos were made in traditional venues, dive bars, basements, warehouses, churches, galleries, living rooms, restaurants, and even a neighborhood grocery store in the DMV area.
This book exists as a response to those who might think that DC punk died out in the 90s, or speak to the creativity of this community in the past tense. It is a celebration of bands who define the present, and bands who played three shows and called it. This is an argument against nostalgia, against complacency. It is a celebration of one of the most revered traditions of modern music, in the context of today.
