Recording catalog
Dischord Records is an independent record label specializing in the punk rock music of the Washington, D.C., hardcore scene. The company is co-owned by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson , who founded the label in December 1980. Before founding Dischord, both MacKaye and Nelson were members of the Teen Idles , and the label was initially meant to only foster a single release from the defunct band, the Minor Disturbance EP . By the time Dischord #1 was finished, many new bands had emerged from the same music scene, and like the Teen Idles, also began releasing their records through Dischord.[ 1]
Bands such as Minor Threat , Government Issue , The Faith , Void , Youth Brigade , Iron Cross , Embrace , Rites of Spring , The Nation of Ulysses , The Make-Up , Scream , Soulside , Gray Matter , Jawbox , Marginal Man , Shudder to Think , Dag Nasty , Lungfish and Fugazi have released records on the label. More recent[when? ] additions to the Dischord roster include Q and Not U , Beauty Pill , Faraquet , Black Eyes , and The Aquarium .
Catalog
This list is organized by catalog number, a roughly chronological number system established by the label and typically printed on or assigned to each official release. However, unlike many record labels with similar systems, smaller releases such as singles, split albums , and co-releases with other labels have often been assigned a catalog number using a fraction or decimal.
