Description
Come along for the ride as Brian and Jeff take journey through the entire Dischord records cannon, one record at a time. There'll be lots of discussion, some debate and plenty of entertaining stories and conversations. Where possible, we interview key players in the making of these releases as well. Brian grew up in the midst of the DC punk scene in the 80's. Asurefire roadmap for disaster, enlightenment or something in between!

This show we drop the needle on Holy Rollers mach two, specifically the "Watching The Grass Grow/ Toy" 7". In the copilot seat today is the prolific and illustrious Greg Polard (Where It Went and Somethin' To Du podcasts). Later in the episode we are joined by guitarist/singer Marc Lambiotte and bassist Chris Bopst! Come and knock on our door...
To conclude our Scream streak, longtime cohost Jeff Kaplan returns for a chat about their first non-Dischord album, No More Censorship. This episode is the first Patron-selected episode. Every five shows, we will do a special Patron's Choice episode (and no, it doesn't need to be a Dischord or DC band). It was pure kismet that one of the very first suggestions was actually this record! And I'm pretty proud of the conversation I had with the band's secret weapon on guitar (and one of the nicest guys you're likely to come across), Franz Stahl. Hit me!
As we near the end of our run of Scream releases, Scott Sheridan and I talk about the stand-alone Fumble album. Was it ahead omits time? Dated? Another classic or a misstep? Listen and find out.
Continuing our Scream month with the CD compilation of Banging The Drum and Fumble. This episode I'm joined by the illustrious Ben Merlis and growling Greg Polard to geek out on the Scream team and also discuss the debatable merits of their last album before 2023.
Greg Polard joins me this episode to discuss the first Scream CD, chock full of over 30 tracks! The conversation was infinitely fun and insightful. Listen in as we talk about why this is an all time classic and why it's important that Scream are Still Screaming to this day.
Well, as a wise man once said, another one bites the dust...This was a unique addition to the catalog, in that it's probably the first and last documentary film on Dischord. Ben Merlis took the copilot chair for this wild ride. We laughed, we cried, we scratched our heads in confusion (and much more)! Enjoy
This episode is about the Dischord half-release that brings a new band into the fold, Hoover. They were innovators and harbingers of much to come for the sonics of the 90s punk scene. Does this episode or my conversation with guitarist/vocalist, Joe McRedmond (absolutely the nicest guy I've interviewed this year), change my old bias against the band? Listen and find out. I even had to call in a favor to get old cohost, Jeff Kaplan, to take the sidecar on the episode. Check it!
This episode Scott Sheridan and I are joined by Sonny Kay (Angel Hair/VSS) to discuss the gnarled beauty of Solid Brass, one of the albums most deserving of being reissued. Later in the show I gather all the members together to attempt a serious discussion ( I was almost successful).
As you'll most likely hear, it can be hard to find words to express all the nuance and depth of meaning a favorite piece of art elicits in you. This is a perfect case in point. This album has soundtracked many years of my life, and continues to do so. With that caveat, I hope you enjoy this conversation. I always know it'll be a good episode when Scott Sheridan is in the copilot chair, but this episode we get Scott squared. Not only Sheridan, but Hicks (who folks might know from his bands Totally Slow and Rights Reserved). Scott Hicks is a friend who can always crack me up and then turn around and touch me with a well placed insight. This was a fun one. Enjoy!
This episode was a lot of fun. Two bands, two songs called Static and three interviews! Ben Merlis makes a triumphant return to the cohost hotseat and we chop it up about so many things on the way to the matter at hand. J Robbins (Jawbox) returns once again, John Mohr (Tar) goes deep on the history and Mike Gitter (xXx Fanzine) takes us home with talk of his signing Jawbox to a major label, and basically what happened right after this 7", along with his abiding love for the band.
On this episode my old cohost, Jeff Kaplan, dusts off his microphone and we sink our teeth into the masterful last original material Jawbox would release on Dischord. Later in the show J Robbins drops by the EOE studio to talk about the tracks and J (G) Ballard.
It was a real pleasure to have one of my oldest friends, Ken Smallwood, on as copilot for the episode. There is definitely a little good cop/bad cop energy going on with us around this release. Guess who is who! Not many folks are aware of this band, so it was a fascinating one to cover. Kathleen Hanna, Sharon Cheslow and Dug E Bird!
This episode marks the last Shudder To Think release on Dischord, and to mark the occasion, we've got the entire band (mach two) on the show talking about this 7' and their move from Dischord to a major label (Epic). Joining me for the record talk this week is Scott Sheridan and Ben Merlis.
Wow, the first Dischord-approved picture disc. Adventurous? Disastrous? No big deal? Regardless, both Circus Lupus and Trenchmouth bring strong material to the project. Hear Scott and I unwrap this sonic candy (and try to stop staring at the magazine poster-style shot of CL). Towards the end of the show, Chris Thomson and Seth Lorinczi drop by to recall why they chose the cover song for the release and their memories of the project. Enjoy!
Charles Steck - Rest in Inspiration
For Charles Steck!
Joan Jett plus Circus Lupus equals magic! Who knew? Join Brian and Scott as they rhapsodize about the greatness of this strange 7'. Later in then show singer Chris Thomson and bassist Seth Lorinczi join us for a wild ride of a conversation about meeting Joan, playing crazy shows and the recording and reception of the Pop Man record. What else are you gonna do with the next three hours of your life?
Surprise, surprise, two in a row for these guys! Severin follow up their album debut with this quiet classic. Join Drew, Scott and me for a discussion of such important questions as "what exactly IS a speaking oyster?" and "what's the perfect Gray Matter to Severin ratio?". Its all here.
This episode Drew and I dust off the ashes of obscurity, and talk about this mostly unheard deep cut in the Dischord catalog. Later the boys in the band join to discuss being a DC band in the early 90s. Stay tuned!
Coconspirator Scott joins us once again, to discuss the Nation Of Ulysses swan song LP. We couldn't interrogate any band members this episode, so the three of us do our best to contextualize and deconstruct this perpetual motion machine of a document.
