Favorite Dischord Band

[derkins]

Gotta go with Fugazi but after that I'm probably rollin with Jawbox or Rites of Spring.  Q and Not U's up there too.

[Scot]

Minor Threat. Then Void. Then Nation of Ulysses.

[derkins]

good call on NOU.  up there for me too.

[KickTheBobo]

three-way tie between Dag Nasty, Jawbox and GG MacKaye & DC Funazis.

[Gibby]

I have to have a top 5. Nation of Ulysses, Q And Not U, Circus Lupus, Fugazi and High Back Chairs.

[Steve of Bloomington]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Shudder To Think.  I still like to pull out Ten Spot occasionally.

I saw both Shudder To Think and NOU at the 930 club in 1990.  Shudder to Think's show was way better.

[Rainer]

Was Tiny Desk Unit a Dischord Band?  My pick if so.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Dag Nasty, both incarnations.  There were 2 incarnations, right?

[John Junk 2.0]

Nation of Ulysses, Shudder To Think, Fugazi, Jawbox

[daveB from Oakland]

Shudder to Think, 'cuz I'm a little fruity ... and also, they were fucking great. They got even weirder when they went major-label. Not necessarily better, but weirder ... and you gotta respect going weird when you go major.

When I briefly volunteered at the UC Berkeley radio station, I reviewed a CD by a band called the Monorchid. I think I liked it, although I can't recall exactly what it sounded like. I'm pretty sure it was on Dischord.

Why are we talking about Dischord bands? Does Dischord still exist?

[derkins]

yup.  last records were evens, joe lally solo, channels (J robbins), and some other dc bands.  still putting out solid stuff.

monorchid was on touch and go though.  similar sounds i guess.

[jbissell]

I'm all for the NOU love.

Some of them were in Circus Lupus, who were on Dischord
