Year/Genre: 1984, Hardcore Punk
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

1. Teen Idles’ last run helped fund Dischord; MacKaye/Nelson soon formed Minor Threat, turning a teen band into the label’s blueprint.

2. S.O.A. documents Henry Rollins’ D.C. era before Black Flag; this project is part of why he was already “known” when he moved west.

3. Youth Brigade’s Nathan Strejcek (ex–Teen Idles) and Government Issue’s John Stabb were scene lifers—this comp freezes their earliest forms.
