Dave Grohl discussed the legacy of his first band, Washington hardcore legends Scream , in a new clip from the documentary Punk the Capital .
The film offers an in-depth look at the punk scene that emerged in Washington, D.C., in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with Scream at the heart of the scene.
In the video, Dave remembers picking up his first Scream album and realizing that the band wasn't a million miles from his house.
“I remember listening to [the album] and seeing that their post office box was near my house. That surprised me!” Grohl said. “Like, ‘Oh my God, one of the best hardcore bands in DC is five kilometers from my house!’”
