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. A surefire roadmap for disaster, enlightenment or something in between!

This episode Sonny Kay joins me to discuss the highly influential debut album by Slant 6. We had a great conversation and surprises abound!
Guy Picciotto .on Red Medicine and so. much more. 'Nuff said!
In the first of our two part exploration of perhaps Fugazi's best album, Scott Sheridan and I dig into our memory and also research the DNA of this bold departure and new chapter of the band. Stay tuned for the interview episode for this release coming soon...
I sure hope this one doesn't ruffle too many feathers. It's an honest and mostly appreciative, thoughtful appraisal of a highly regarded album that has aged remarkably well. Ken Smallwood is in the co-pilot seat this time and really brings his "A" game to the endeavor. Listen in as two very old friends talk well into the night about this recording.
It was a blast to get one more chance to explore the dark, yet hopeful world of Ignition. My cohost this episode is return master of the mic, Scott Sheridan. Listen in as we go under the hood of this machine.
Anddddddddddddd, we're back! Sorry for the unplanned "hiatus", but now the show is back with a vengeance. This is the second Patron-chosen topic episode. The indomitable story of DC legends Kingface. In the copilot chair this one was my old friend Ken Smallwood. It was a great pleasure getting to hear stories of old Dischord house days, the Slinkees, Sevens and of course the origin story of Kingface, from Mark Sullivan. Please do yourselves a favor and revisit this essential band! Apparently ...
It's always a pleasure to have the opportunity to talk about and to a band that deserved so much more acclaim than they received in their time active. Rain Like The Sound Of Trains is the perfect case in point. They were such a powerful and heartfelt group of individuals playing revolutionary music together, while also living together and attempting to live out their beliefs. This episode Scott Sheridan and I sketch out what this band meant to us and why they were so important. Later in the s...
Yes, we've already spoke about all these tracks in a couple of the earliest episodes, but this carries a differnt release number, so we get to do it all over again. Thank God it's some of the most inspiring and trail-blazing music the label has out out then! This time Ken Smallwood is my copilot and late in the show Ivor Hanson (drummer in the Faith) fills in lots of details about the Faith and those early Dischord years. Needless to say, I'm extremely proud of this episode.
This episode Jeff and I discuss the second (most elusive) release from Hoover. Later, singer/guitarist Joe McRedmond joins the conversation. I hope this one inspires some of you to search for this one out in the wilds.
It was a pleasure to talk about and to the Holy Rollers, regarding their third and final album. In the cohost chair this episode was the indefatigable Ken Smallwood. Enjoy!
This first Rain Like The Sound Of Trains 7" really made an impact when it first came out. It was a supergroup of sorts and caused some unlikely controversy in the punk scene. The message and sound of this group has aged incredibly well. Jeff Kaplan is bank in the copilot chair to discuss the record and the band's legacy. Then we're joined by Pete Chramiec, Joshua Larue and Dug Birdzell for a conversation about the origins of the band, recording this 7" and much more.
Yet another unslanted opinion on yet another new band for Dischord this episode. Slant 6's introductory release, What Kind Of Monster. Greg Polard (Where It Went, Somthin' To Du) joins me for a look under the hood of this machine. Combustion ensues.
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 nices...
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).
