Ayre Rayde stands as a pivotal figure in Maryland’s go-go scene, formed in 1979 in Prince George’s County and billed as the state’s first major go-go band. With a steady groove and infectious energy, Ayre Rayde helped define a genre rooted in community, rhythm, and live collaboration. Their rise to prominence came with the 1985–1986 single Sock It to Me (Be-Bop & Fresh), a track that remains a touchstone for go-go enthusiasts.
