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.

They have instruments and recording equipment spread throughout the basement and the living room and are recording this project entirely themselves.
