• Offensive Weapon, Criminal Intent, the Screws, the Wolverines, and the Incited - Unknown Secret Location [DC] (NOTE: ShowlistDC does not support racism or fascism, but we do try to list every concert in the area, regardless of the bands' points of view or political beliefs. This show was originally scheduled at the Pinch but is now being held at a secret location due to the controversial nature of these bands and their beliefs. Please do some research on these bands and their beliefs-- here is one place to start-- and consider if these are bands you want to support financially. Offensive Weapon released a split EP with a neo-Nazi band on a record label that regularly releases RAC/white power bands and is proud to be photographed wearing anti-Antifa shirts. They regularly claim not to be racist, but they have no problem affiliating with racist bands, labels, and organizations.)
