Dischord Records is a Washington, D.C.-based independent record label specializing in punk rock. The label is co-owned by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, who founded Dischord in 1980 to release Minor Disturbance by their band the Teen Idles.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[1] With other independent American labels such as Twin/Tone, Touch and Go Records, and SST Records, Dischord helped to spearhead the nationwide network of underground bands that formed the 1980s indie rock scene.[2] These labels presided over the shift from the hardcore punk that then dominated the American underground scene to the more diverse styles of alternative rock that were emerging.[3]

The label is most notable for employing the do it yourself ethic, producing all of its albums and selling them at discount prices without finance from major distributors.Шаблон:Sfn Dischord continues to release records by bands from Washington D.C., and to document and support the Washington D.C. music scene.Шаблон:Sfn As of October 2016, the label employs four people.[4]

Dischord was a local label in the early days of hardcore, and is one of the more famous independent labels, along with the likes of Alternative Tentacles, Epitaph Records, SST Records, and Touch and Go Records.Шаблон:Sfn

The logo of the label was created by Nelson, who has an associate degree in advertising design.[5]

History

Influenced by existing labels like Dangerhouse Records,[6] MacKaye and Nelson took up residence in the now known "Dischord House" and ran the label out of its premises.[6]

Dischord's first release was Minor Disturbance by Teen Idles[7] released in 1980.[8] The band members cut, folded, and glued the record packaging themselves to keep costs down.[7] The label's first split 12" was Faith / Void Split by the bands The Faith and Void.[8]

Dischord limits itself to bands from the D.C. scene. The label offers the same basic deal to all artists: Dischord fronts a certain amount of money to record and manufacture[9] and once those costs are recouped, the label's distributor takes 30 percent of the profit[10] and the band and label split the remainder.[9][10]

Jeff Nelson has claimed the venture was never intended to be profit-making but was instead simply a way to get their friends albums in fans’ hands.[10]

In spite of criticism over the years about how the label is run, MacKaye claims everything works and will continue to operate in the same fashion of no contracts or lawyers.[11]

In 2017, they put their catalog on Bandcamp for free streaming or purchase.[12]
