LABEL STORY DISCHORD RECORDS
Washington D.C. is a city in perpetual flux. Presidents and administrations come and go and the world’s media fly in and out as the political elite carve out policies that make headlines on the other side of the planet. Dischord Records was born 38 years ago in the underground of this government town, and has since grabbed the music world’s attention with a social consciousness and intense musical sensibility that’s unique to Dischord and unique to D.C.
For the last nearly four decades, it’s been at least one constant force for good, championing the city’s arts and culture and inspiring bands and labels the world over.
