Family Vacation is a name shared by two distinct but equally compelling music projects with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and the Chicago area. In Battle Ground, Washington, Family Vacation thrives as a punk/drive-in hardcore collaboration, delivering short, high-energy releases that capture the immediacy of the scene. In the Chicago region, the indie/alternative iteration has created a notable catalog, including the acclaimed album American (2018). Both branches share a DIY ethos, a penchant for catchy hooks, and a workmanlike approach to live performance. Here you’ll find a concise biography, discography highlights, and a look at upcoming shows where you can catch these acts live across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
