Superb box set from Dischord Records, originally due for release to mark their 20th anniversary in 2000, it ended up taking a little while longer to get together! CDs one and two feature 50 tracks, one from each band on the label. The third CD contains 21 unreleased tracks from the likes of Minor Threat, Fugazi, Teen Idles, Scream, Govt. Issue. Also includes an interview from 1981 with various DC band members and an enhanced section with live footage of The Teen Idles, Untouchables, SOA, Faith, Void and Deadline. There's also a great 134-page booklet, with an overview of the label written by Henry Rollins and loads of rare band pics. An absolutely superb, must-have box set from this legendary and massively influential label.

Fugazi were formed from the ashes of legendary DC hardcore bands Minor Threat and Rites Of Spring. They played their first shows in 1987 and released this first mini album the following year. 
They took the energy and abrasiveness of their former bands and honed it into an intense and ulitmately hugely influential sound. 
This album along with it's follow up "Margin Walker" were both permanent fixtures on the shop stereo back then and had we done end of year charts at the time would most certainly have made it into the top 10.

For anyone who’s been hoping Washington DC's post-hardcore legends Fugazi might at some point emerge from their long haitus, this might well be the next best thing.
Coriky is a trio consisting of Amy Farina on drums, Joe Lally on bass and Ian MacKaye on guitar, with all of them sharing vocal duties. Formed in 2015, Coriky didn’t play their first show until 2018 and now finally, they release their debut album.

As you’d expect, it’s the perfect mix of melody and intensity. Lally’s dubby basslines, rumble over rattling snares and although all three share the mic, it’s MacKaye’s distinctive vocal that gives them their edge.

Idles might have borrowed the politically charged punk mantle for a while, but MacKaye and co are here to win it back.

STAFF COMMENTS

says: From the first few seconds of the album opener, “Clean Kill” it's clear that the Fugazi spirit is alive and well. Moving away from the baritone guitar and jagged anti-folk of Farina / MacKaye's previous project The Evens, they've brought Fugazi bassist Joe Lally in to the fold too, only helping to strengthen the dedication to rhythmic drive and jagged, angular edges; “'Say Yes” is an excellent example of this, with the dual vox of Farina and MacKaye drifting atop a jazzy, funk shuffle. Later, things get a bit more minimal with “Last Thing” epitomising the wandering, hypnotic groove that we'd expect. This isn't to say any of the material here is reductive, quite the opposite in fact, they manage to retain the sound of each individual musician while making it clear why every instrument and every melody is present. An essential purchase.

Fugazi were formed from the ashes of legendary DC hardcore bands Minor Threat and Rites Of Spring. They played their first shows in 1987 and released this first mini album the following year. 
They took the energy and abrasiveness of their former bands and honed it into an intense and ulitmately hugely influential sound. 
This CD release combines their debut '7 Songs' with it's follow up 'Margin Walker'. Both vinyl releases were permanent fixtures on the shop stereo back then (we didn't have a CD player at the time) and had we done end of year charts at the time would most certainly have made it into the top 10.

. 
This is Fugazi's second full-length record, released in 1991 and although it is still unmistakeably a Fugazi record it is something of a departure from their previous output. While still as intense, the pace is slower and there are dubby and even experimental influences. It's less immediate, and in our face, but it's a definite grower.

The Evens are Ian Mackaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat) on barritone guitar and Amy Farina (The Warmers) on drums. They both sing too!

Featuring programmed beats, softly delivered vocal lines, heavily effected instruments, twisted pop chorus lines, with only the faintest traces of distortion, this is possibly the least punk rock album on Dischord. For fans of Pavement, Breeders, Dismemberment Plan, Nina Nastasia etc.

It was early 1981 when Washington DC's Minor Threat made their first trip to the studio. The band recorded all of the songs that they had written in the short time they had been together (three months), but were apparently unsatisfied with their performance and never bothered to do a final mix of the tape. This unmixed tape of the first demo was discovered when Dischord started work on the "Twenty Years Of Dischord" box set. Mixed by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara (of Inner Ear Studios) in December 2001, these recordings were only previously available as low quality rough mixes on bootlegs.

Remastered version of this CD which combines the tracks from their previous two albums "Trigger" and "Got Bodi-gram" and the 7" single "Sun".

With the exception (but what an exception) of The Ramones, punk didn't really catch on in the US until 1981. But when it did, it easily eclipsed the humourless macho chestbeating of the moribund UK scene that had originally inspired it... At its vanguard were the likes of Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys, The Fartz, TSOL and The Descendents, but possibly foremost amongst them were Minor Threat, whose relentless and precise power has probably never been matched since. In "Minor Threat - Complete Discography" you have all 26 of their studio tracks, from the primitive aggression of the "Minor threat" EP through to the more controlled genius of "Out Of Step", ending at what was possibly their finest hour and old Piccadilly Records favourite, the "Salad Days" 7"... if you don't own this, buy it, you'll like it. If you don't - seek help...

Absolutely essential, all time classic DC hardcore / punk album, now remastered by Ian Mackaye. This was their debut album, recorded in 1986. As well as the original album tracks, this release also includes two tracks recorded at the same session as the album "Another Wrong" and "My Dog's A Cat", along with four previously unavailable live recordings. Quality!

First release from these emo / art rockers, since their "No Kill No Beep Beep" album in 2000. Two new tracks, produced by Ian Mackaye.

A collection of songs, which switch between art-punk and avant-garde, from this Washington DC duo. For fans of Gang of Four / Trans Am.

Second full length album from this Washington DC trio. For fans of Q And Not U, Delta 72 and Fugazi.

More top notch D. hardcore from Dischord. This album is made up of five previously unreleased tracks, recorded during various sessions over the last few years, along with five tracks taken from singles and compilations, all of which are otherwise unavailable at the moment.

New 12 track album on Dischord by label stalwarts Lungfish. Their ninth album!

Live CD, recorded on a four-track 1/2" tape machine, in September '92, at the Embassy in Washington D.C.
