Hailing from Falls Church, VA. We, XK Scenario, stand as an example of what it looks like when art exists as freedom. Our music is technical and lyrical mastery mixed with passion, soul, and truth. Prog-Rock, Hip-Hop, Punk, Funk, and Jazz-Fusion. We are what Rage Against The Machine, Bad Brains, Nas, The Mars Volta, and Mahavishnu Orchestra were dreaming of. We can say this because our E.P. "A Monument to All Our Tomorrows" proves this. Our live performance proves this. Our fans' love proves this. And if all these things weren't enough, we're also pretty.

DC-based BUKO BUKO is a spicy-sweet punk band. Born out of boredom from sad, soggy, serious punk music - BUKO BUKO creates bouncy songs that you want to dance your a** off to, as exhibited in their self-titled EP and in their debut album to be released at the Pie Shop in 2025. The sound of BUKO BUKO is filled with buzzy bass lines, emotional guitar outbursts, and shake-worthy drums. Their song topics range from food metaphors to serial killer love songs and they're known for their banter and crazy dance moves. Buko means "immature, young coconut" in Tagalog.
