The long-awaited Emergency & I reissue from the Dismemberment Plan is here, for the first time on vinyl! Former Q and Not U member Chris Richards wrote a nice piece - with a personal touch - on the band's reunion for the Washington Post.

Orthrelm, with Mick Barr on guitar and Josh Blair on drums, will play at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival curated by the band Animal Collective.

We have launched a major upgrade to the Dischord store which includes a brand new interface for the store and several new features that our longtime customers have been asking for, such as single file album downloads and a simplified check-out system.

The Dischord web-store carries hundreds of releases from bands and labels related in one way or another to the DC underground. The new store interface presents many more Featured Releases sections and clear navigation directly to the artists and labels whose releases we carry.

The Stuff We Sell store page also features this new blog which will be maintained by our mail-order guru, Rebecca, and will present news, updates, and general useful tidbits more specific to our mail-order customers. Read about the new store features after the jump!

The Most Secret Method released two fine albums, Get Lovely on Slowdime and Our Success on Superbad, in the late 90s and early 2000s. These albums are now available to download from the Dischord webstore and also from itunes, e-music, amazon and all of the other download services that carry regular Dischord releases.
