Punknews.org may have been born and raised in Canada, but as our fearless leader Aubin Paul said last Friday, most of us now reside in the United States (we win again!). Today is Independence Day here in the US, and in typical American fashion we refuse to let the Canadians steal our video playlist thunder. Below you'll find a bevy of clips of bands from the inimitable Washington, DC scene that spring to mind when we think about the correlation between our scene and our nation's capital.

Of course, give us your feedback in the comments section and make us cognizant of any glaring omissions.
