Minor Threat - Out of Step Outtakes 7"

11.14.23
In January 1983, Minor Threat went into Inner Ear Studio for the first time as a five-piece (Brian Baker had moved from bass to second guitar and Steve Hansgen was now playing bass). They had six new songs that would end up being the center piece of what became the Out of Step 12" EP.  The band had also decided to re-record the song "Out of Step" with some extra language to try to clarify the lyrics, as well as "Cashing In", a tongue-in-cheek song about the DC punk scene which they had only played live once.  After much debate, "Cashing In" was added as a hidden track on the original vinyl release though not listed on the cover or label. There was still blank tape on the reel, so they decided to record an instrumental with the working title, "Addams Family" and then recorded new versions of "In My Eyes" and "Filler" to hear what they sounded like with two guitars. "Addams Family" ended up being used as a coda to "Cashing In", but the other two songs were never mixed and largely forgotten for over 35 years until the multitrack tapes were taken into the studio to be digitized in 2021. Surprised by the discovery, Ian and Don Zientara mixed the two songs along with the complete take of "Addams Family". These outtakes are now released on a 7" to mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Out of Step. The 7" of these outtakes is available now for ORDER.

Black Eyes to reunite for East Coast shows this spring

11.15.22
Washington DC’s Black Eyes will reunite for three shows this spring in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their S/T debut album. Dischord will also reissue the record, bringing it back into print on LP for the first time since 2009. 

Black Eyes formed in 2001. The band was together only two-and-a-half years, but left a lasting mark in DC and beyond. Across 200 shows and two albums (2003’s S/T and 2004’s Cough), the group maintained a feverish and experimental energy, with shows that often melted into ecstatic percussive free-for-alls. Shows are currently scheduled in DC, New York, and Philadelphia. Find the complete schedule and venue information here.

Boxset Update 3/11/22

03.11.22
We’re happy to announce that the pre-ordered Dischord 200 boxsets have now all left the pressing plant and are in the mail.

The packages were shipped chronologically according to the order dates and it took approximately two weeks to get everything sent off.

If you have not already received yours, please allow a week or two for the packages to be delivered.

This has been an extremely complicated project made infinitely more complicated by the pandemic, supply-chain issues, and shipping delays, so your patience with us and this project is very much appreciated!

- Dischord
Special message for international customers: 

If you haven’t already received your boxset, please contact your local post office to see if they are holding the package there. 

PS- Please direct any questions to <boxset (at) dischord.com>

Boxset Update 12/10/21

12.10.21
We are pleased to announce that after being held up at the port for nearly six weeks, the vinyl has finally been delivered to the plant where the boxsets will be assembled. The project is now in line to be completed and the company doing the work is estimating that we’ll have the finished pieces ready to ship in late January/early February.

Please be aware that shortages and delays are still holding things up and it’s possible that the release will be pushed back even further, but we’re hoping that this schedule will hold and we’ll finally be able to deliver #200.  

Thanks again to all of you who have pre-ordered and have been so patient about the situation!

- Ian and Jeff
