The Punk Remains the Same “GI carried the torch for traditional Hardcore Punk.” -Steve Huey, All Music Guide Government Issue (often just GI) was an American Hardcore Punk band and one of the longest-running bands in the DC Hardcore scene. formed in 1980, GI quickly built a loyal following and released their first EP titled "Legless Bull" through Dischord Records. Many early songs were straightforward hardcore, clocking in at under the one minute mark, but they later progressed into a more melodic song-focused outfit (citing The Damned as key to gaining this catchy sound) and often with lyrics critical of the short-sighted behavior of the scene they aided in creating.

This booklet is just a basic blueprint, and even though those eight years we we write about putting out records or CDs, a lot of this is common sense. We released about 75 records by know people who have used this kind of information to do everything from our own bands and those of putting out a 7” to starting an independent clothing label to opening recording our friends. We closed the studios, record stores, cafes, microbreweries, thrift stores, bookshops, and now whole operation down in thousands of start-up internet companies. Some friends have even used similar March, 1997. skills to organize political campaigns and rehabilitative vocational programs offering services to youth offenders in DC. Ironically, one of our label's most popular releases was There is nothing that you can’t do with a little time, creativity, enthusiasm and not a record, but a 24-page hard work.

Such a project is atypical both by DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1044387ar its size, rock groups being usually content to produce one or two live albums during the scope of their career, and by its perspective, Dischord Records, an See table of contents independent label, thus undertaking curatorial activities usually supported by official cultural institutions such as museums, libraries and universities. This approach will be considered here both in terms of documentation, the infinite variations of the concerts contrasting with the arrested versions of the studio Publisher(s) albums, and of the musical canon, Fugazi obviously wishing, by the Département des littératures de langue française constitution of this digital archive, to contribute to a parallel rock history.

Dischord Records 3819 BEECHER ST
FUGAZi "First Demo" dischord rEcords DIS181 DIS181CD 11-song CD DIS181V 11-song LP+MP3 Release Date: November 18, 2014 Ian MacKaye - vocals, guitar Guy Picciotto - vocals Joe Lally - bass Brendan Canty - drums In early January 1988 and after only ten shows, Fugazi decided to go into Inner Ear Studio to see what their music sounded like on tape. Despite the fact that Ian, Joe, and Brendan had been playing together for nearly a year, it was still early days for the band. Guy had only been a full member of Fugazi for a few months and only sang lead on one song ("Break In"). It would be nearly another year before he would start playing guitar with the band. At that time, the studio was still located in the basement of engineer Don Zientara's family house. It was a familiar space as almost all of the members of Fugazi had recorded there with their previous bands (Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Deadline, Insurrection, Rites of Spring, Skewbald, Embrace, and One Last Wish). Joey Picuri (aka Joey P), who would later become one of Fugazi's longtime sound engineers, joined the band for the initial tracking. The sessions only lasted a couple of days, but tour dates and indecision about the tape would delay the final mix for another two months. Though the band was at first pleased with the results, it soon became clear that this tape would remain a demo as new songs were being written and the older songs were evolving and changing shape while the band was out on tour.

America's Hardcore.Indd 278-279 5/20/10 9:28:57 PM Our First Show at an Amherst Youth Center
our first show at an Amherst youth center. Scott Helland’s brother Eric’s band Mace played; they became The Outpatients. Our first Boston show was with DYS, The Mighty COs and The AMERICA’S HARDCORE FU’s. It was very intense for us. We were so intimidated. Future generations will fuck up again THE OUTPATIENTS got started in 1982 by Deep Wound bassist Scott Helland At least we can try and change the one we’re in and his older brother Eric “Vis” Helland, guitarist/vocalist of Mace — a 1980-82 — Deep Wound, “Deep Wound” Metal group that played like Motörhead but dug Black Flag (a rare blend back then). The Outpatients opened for bands like EAST COAST Black Flag, Hüsker Dü and SSD. Flipside called ’em “one of the most brutalizing live bands In 1980, over-with small cities and run-down mill towns across the Northeast from the period.” 1983’s gnarly Basement Tape teemed with bored kids with nothing to do. Punk of any kind earned a cultural demo included credits that read: “Play loud in death sentence in the land of stiff upper-lipped Yanks. That cultural isolation math class.” became the impetus for a few notable local Hardcore scenes. CANCEROUS GROWTH started in 1982 in drummer Charlie Infection’s Burlington, WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS MA bedroom, and quickly spread across New had an active early-80s scene of England. They played on a few comps then 100 or so inspired kids. Western made 1985’s Late For The Grave LP in late 1984 Mass bands — Deep Wound, at Boston’s Radiobeat Studios (with producer The Outpatients, Pajama Slave Steve Barry).

Brian Gathy Interviewed by John Davis March 25, 2020 Phone Interview 0:00:00 to 0:31:38 ______
Brian Gathy interviewed by John Davis March 25, 2020 Phone interview 0:00:00 to 0:31:38 ________________________________________________________________________ 0:00:00 John Davis: Today is Wednesday, March 25th, 2020. My name is John Davis. I am the Interim Curator of Special Collections in Performing Arts at the University of Maryland, speaking to Brian Gathy of Yet Another Unslanted Opinion fanzine, which I believe ran for five issues. Is that right? Brian Gathy: That’s correct. Davis: And that was about ’85 to ’86 or so? Gathy: Yeah. That sounds right. I feel like we did a sixth issue that was kind of just a quick hodgepodge, but my memory could be wrong. We'll just say five, to keep it safe. Davis: So before we kind of get into the zine itself, could you tell me about how you got interested in punk in the first place, and what it was like growing up around the D.C. area at that time? Was it D.C. punk that got you first, or was it punk from outside of D.C. and then you learned about what was happening here? What was it for you? Gathy: It’s kind of interesting, ‘cause I literally just talked about this topic on my podcast. But I moved to D.C. in ’83 from Virginia Beach, and I had gotten into punk in Virginia Beach. I had some friends at school that—a group of kids that would play music on the bus, and they had stuff like Black Flag and all that sort of thing, playing on a boom box.
