Skappository / Scum Shots | DCxPC Live Vol. 16 | LP

Description

DCxPC Live Vol. 16 Presents Skappository / Scum Shots is a relentless explosion of ska and punk energy, capturing the magic of a packed night at Mr. Beery’s and bringing it straight to vinyl. This split release highlights two of the East Coast’s most electrifying underground bands, each bringing their own style and intensity to a live setting that radiates with raw passion. Skappository delivers a fast-paced, high-energy ska punk assault with infectious horn lines, punchy rhythms, and a sense of urgency that keeps the crowd moving. Scum Shots counter with a blistering dose of raw, aggressive garage punk, hitting hard with gritty vocals, relentless riffs, and an unfiltered intensity that embodies the DIY punk ethos. The story of this release began when DCxPC Live founder Scott caught Skappository at the O+ Positive Festival in Kingston, NY, where their energy and musicianship immediately stood out. After seeing them tear up the stage, he knew they needed to be part of a live album, and the idea of a split release soon took shape. Meanwhile, Scum Shots had been playing alongside Skappository at Mr. Beery’s, developing a mutual respect and shared energy that made them the perfect pairing for this record. When the opportunity arose to document their show in a way that preserved its raw, electric energy, the bands jumped at the chance. Recorded with expert live engineering and mixed to perfection, this album captures every shout, horn blast, and crashing drumbeat with full clarity while maintaining the grit and authenticity of a true punk show. The night of the recording was a special one, filled with friends, fans, and the chaotic energy that makes live punk and ska shows unforgettable. Every moment is captured on this record, making it more than just an album—it’s a document of a scene, a celebration of underground music, and a testament to the power of live performance. With album design by Christian Lesperance, photography by Kayla at Pixeljournalism, and mastering by Josh Dobbs at Danger Room Recording Services, this release was crafted with the same DIY dedication that fuels the bands themselves. DCxPC Live Vol. 16 stands as a snapshot of a moment in time, a vinyl time capsule of two bands at their peak, and an essential addition to any collection for fans of unfiltered punk and ska energy.
