Scott Crawford
SCOTT CRAWFORD is a music journalist, filmmaker, musician and graphic designer. As a teenager in the DC suburbs, he started a fanzine called Metrozine that documented much of what was happening in the DC hardcore punk scene in the 1980s. He was quoted in both Dance of Days and Banned in DC—the two most definitive books on the early DC punk scene. In 2001, he launched Harp magazine and served as its Editor-in-Chief for over 7 years. Crawford also launched the online music portal Blurt (blurt-online.com) in 2009. In 2011, he began filming his directorial debut— "Salad Days"—a feature-length documentary film on the Washington, DC punk scene of the 1980s. The film is currently in post-production.
