Dischord

Marginal Man was formed in 1983 after the break-up of Artifical Peace, a seminal DC Hardcore-Punk band. Featuring former Artifical Peace members Steve Polcari, Pete Murray, and Mike Manos, and joined with Kenny Inouye and Andre Lee. “Identity” was recorded in 1983 by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios and was originally released as a 12” EP in 1984. Although “Identity” was re-issued on CD in 1997 the vinyl has been out of print for many years. In 2009 Dischord sent the tapes to be re-mastered at Chicago Mastering Service and now the 12'' EP is re-issued and comes with an MP3 download.

Exploding turbulence thrusts forth eight Minor Threat proficient arrangements. Increase the velocity of their first two powerful releases, step Brian Baker up to 2nd guitar, add new bassist Steve Hansgen, and still more potent lyrical blitzes, and this 12"s non-hesitant progression outbursts into the blazing best Dischord release. Don't miss.

The final recording by one of the best hardcore bands of all time. Released post-humously in 1985, 2 years after the band hand broken up. Features 3 songs including the classic title track Salad Days.

Three or four months after forming, Minor Threat went into Inner Ear Studios to record their first demo tape. 8 essential classic which were later re-recorded. Nice photos to boot. I wish Dischord would release more old classic like this!
