Henry was very eager to do a S.O.A. record and ended up paying for the recording and manufacturing of Dischord #2, the "No Policy" E.P. (ten-song 7") which was released in early 1981. With money from both records coming back, we were able to release singles from Minor Threat, Government Issue, and Youth Brigade by the end of the year.
In October 1981 we moved into a bungalow-style house in Arlington, Virginia (just across the Potomac River from Washington). We dubbed it Dischord House and moved the label's operations from our bedrooms into a small room off of the kitchen. We didn't really have any idea how long we would last in this location, so we kept the Beecher Street mailing address. We figured that it would stay around for a while. After all it was--and still is--my parents' house. Nathan, who had been working on the label with us, didn't move in, and subsequently became less and less a part of the label. Those of us who lived in Dischord House were all involved with bands. Our basement became a non-stop practice room, and since it was one of the first group houses in our punk clique, it became a major hangout. People were around day and night, and quite often found themselves putting together record sleeves and folding lyric sheets.
