Music Of MarylandFamous musicians from Maryland include Francis Scott Key, who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" and pop punksters Good Charlotte, from Waldorf. While much of Maryland is a suburb of Washington DC, its musical community has been largely independent. The city of Baltimore, though only thirty-five miles from DC, has had little connection to DC. Punk rock Baltimore's hardcore punk scene was overshadowed by DC's, but included bands like Law & Order, Bollocks and Fear of God. The city also saw some New Wave action, including Ebeneezer & the Bludgeons and Null Set. Later in the 1980s, emo bands like Reptile House and Grey March had some success and recorded with Ian MacKaye in DC. References - Blush, Steven. American Hardcore: A Tribal History. 2001.
