Damaged City Announces 2020 Lineup Featuring Trapped Under Ice, Ekulu and Lion of Judah

Damaged City festival has announced its 2020 lineup that is set to feature Trapped Under Ice, Ekulu, and Lion of Judah, among others. The festival will take place on April 10th and 11th of this year in Washington, D.C.

Baltimore based punk band Trapped Under Ice is a D.C. hometown band, and although they had a brief break up in the early 2010’s, the band reformed in 2015, and released their latest album, Heatwave, in 2017. The band has recorded three studio albums and three EP’s since their formation in 2007.

NYC based Ekulu is new to the hardcore rock scene, but they have already begun to make waves; their 2 studio albums, Ekulu and Half Alive, were released in 2018 and 2019 respectively, and both caught the attention of fans and critics alike.

Like Trapped Under Ice, Lion of Judah is a hardcore rock based in D.C. that has embraced conducting themselves their own way. The band books their own tours, utilized analog recording technology, and constantly goes against the hardcore rock status quo when it comes to their approach to music.

Other notable performers include Destruktions, Appendix, Chain Cult, Permission, and Hate Preachers. Check out the Damaged City festival flyer below:

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
