New bands on Dischord!
We always say that we release records along with the ebb and flow of our community here in Washington, DC
We always say that we release records along with the ebb and flow of our community here in Washington, DC. This idea will be well illustrated after a year of relative calm with a VERY active release schedule planned for the second half of 2006. IN 2005 and 2006 the DC punk scene has taken a turn back to the underground and we are now beginning to see the fruits of this period of introspection with forthcoming albums from Channels, Soccer Team, The Evens, Joe Lally, French Toast, The Aquarium and possibly Antelope.

The Aquarium join Dischord
Dischord will be introducing a full-length CD from The Aquarium, a duo featuring Jason Hutto on keyboards and vocals and Laura Harris on drums, in October
Dischord will be introducing a full-length CD from The Aquarium, a duo featuring Jason Hutto on keyboards and vocals and Laura Harris on drums, in October. The Aquarium have been playing shows around DC for a couple years and have crafted a hypnotizing set of instrumental and vocal compositions often accompanied live with random movie clips culled from Jason's library collections. As well as performing with The Aquarium Laura plays drums for Benjy Ferree's band and has played with the short-lived and much loved DC quartet, The Threads. Jason previously played guitar with the the incomparable Motor-Cycle Wars (who's number 1?).

The Evens are Recording
Ian and Amy are in the process of recording what they hope will be a new Evens full-length for release this Fall
Ian and Amy are in the process of recording what they hope will be a new Evens full-length for release this Fall. They have instruments and recording equipment spread throughout the basement and the living room and are recording this project entirely themselves. This recording project follows a 3 week tour in the UK and Ireland which was very encouraging despite a bout of food poisoning which sidelined Ian and led to the cancellation of one gig.
