dischord. no. 4 / 10 tracks / sep 1981

+ lyric sheet. 1000 made. 30underdc.com mentions two sleeve variations, one with Dischord address c/o Yesterday and Today Records, second one with Beecher street address. Test pressings with generic yellow United test press labels.

Their debut has ten short blasts of hardcore (the longest song is 1:28) in the typical early Dischord vein. The music is a lot noisier and more basic than their subsequent releases, so I’m hesitant to call this a classic, still this is a good record and a must if you like the early DCHC sound. [7]

Auf dem ersten GI-Vinyl hämmern uns John Stabb und Konsorten 10 Songs (Spieldauer von 13 Sekunden bis 1:28 min) um die Ohren. Die Soundqualität ist hier noch reichlich noisy, kommt aber gut; früher DC-Hardcore eben. Textlich wird abgerechnet; Mode, Religion, Gewalt, American Dream, Crass etc. kriegen ihr Fett weg. (CD)

Tracks: religious ripoff / fashionite / rock & roll bullshit / anarchy is dead / sheer terror // asshole / bored to death / no rights / i’m james dean / cowboy fashion
