We only release music from DC because this is the city where we live, work and have the most understanding. To expand would be to dilute our focus. We encourage creative people to take control of their local scenes and to look within themselves to create opportunities as others have encouraged us to do.

Dischord Records was created in 1980 to document the music coming out of the Washington, D.C. punk community. The label has put out the work of over 40 bands, and has distributed hundreds of other releases connected to the D.C. area. We will continue our work as long as this community continues to create music that speaks to us. Thanks.
