While "punk" may not be the categorically correct word to describe a band like Body Count, their decades-long history against police brutality and racism is punk as fuck, frontman Ice-T's turn on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit notwithstanding. As such, seeing the band behind "Cop Killer" (or its modern equivalent "ICE Killer") headline a festival known as Camp Punksylvania shouldn't be controversial, no matter how much shit the band have stirred in their time.
Joining Body Count on the bill are headliners Pup and Face to Face, as well as notable acts such as Bad Cop Bad Cop, Ryan Cassata, and Bev Rage & The Drinks. The full line-up (at least, what has been announced thus far, as "more surprises" are advertised) includes:
