Kinda hard to have a scene in the middle of a pandemic
But there are some DC area based bands I’m aware of making waves to ripples
Bartees Strange, Ex Hex, Bad Moves, Des Demonas, Jay Diggs, Too Free
Snail Mail came up through the local scene, but is based in Brooklyn now
I believe there was number of female fronted bands along the lines of Priests, that scene may have faded out though… see Sister Polygon records
