Any fans of Washington D.C. punk rock and hardcore need, genuinely need, to own this incredible anthology of work originally published in the two separate fanzines Descenes and Discords during the 1970s and ‘80s. Industry vet Howard Wuelfing is the cat responsible, and the joy here is that he’s retained the DIY feel of the ‘zines, so it feels like we’re in some ragged, ink-stained time capsule. There have been similar anthologies of the likes of Sniffin’ Glue and Touch & Go, and this is right up there with them. Ian MacKaye pops up right at the start, and there’s a foreword by Mark Jenkins.
