Destructo Disk at The Camel
The Camel has curated quite a lineup this Wednesday, and it all starts with local punk rock band Destructo Disk based out of Winchester, VA. Called the “punk band for good people”, this group is self-made and self-reliant. They got together in 2015, and worked hard to create high quality punk music in an area without a lot of punk rock bands. In 2019, they formed their own company called Sockhead Records to take themselves to the next level. With this unquestionable work ethic, a truly danceable sound, and lyrics that hide a deeper meaning, it’s not hard to see why so many rave about this band, calling it “a band you absolutely MUST check out” and “just a genuinely great band”. So, you heard the people. Go check them out!

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride
By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
GLOSSER Releases Deluxe Edition of Debut Record, DOWNER
When D.C. venues were ready to reopen after COVID-19, indie pop duo GLOSSER was ready to perform. The two, Riley Fanning and Corbin Sheehan, formed the band pre-COVID out of a shared aesthetic vision and passion for music storytelling.
Their first album *DOWNER* was released in January 2023, however they have decided to release a deluxe version exactly one year later containing four new tracks – two remixes, a reimagined song, and a cover – that they are hoping will give it a second life and allow them to continue performing around the area.
The band explains that they have spent many shows opening for touring bands that traveled through D.C. “We made music and then venues started to open again,” Sheehan says. Rather than having the “typical grungy” D.C. band experience, they uniquely went straight to club shows.
