Submerge The Oppressor

Submerge the Oppressor is an intense and heavy band from Rockville, MD. Melding together atmospheric melodies and angular dissonance, Submerge plays a unique style of metalcore that runs true to the genre’s origins while building upon its foundation. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Deafheaven, Submerge The Oppressor is ready to kick ass and take no prisoners at every show they play.

504 Plan

A 504 Plan is a formal plan that schools develop to give kids with disabilities the support they need. Every member of this Punk rock band has a 504 Plan so they decided to name their DC hardcore punk rock band after it. 504 Plan plays fast, expressive, socially conscious music. They write about important topics such as the US education system, presidential elections, and the overmedication of kids. Coming right out of the DC area these high school kids are tired of adults' political hypocrisy and have something to say.
