New Vibrations - The Pietasters - 1992 - 1996
D.C.'s Pietasters are one of the most underrated local bands in any genre of music. They frequently tour nationally with The Slackers and other top ska acts, but their loyalty to the Baltimore/DC area makes opportunities to see them a frequent treat. Though a traditional ska band by nature, The Pietasters stand out for shows emphasizing partying, drinking, and enjoying life, rather than the reverence and self-consciousness of most other traditional ska acts.
