Dischord and co. offer free studio time to DC up-and-comers
- Artists:
- Fugazi »
Dischord Records - founded by Jeff Nelson and Fugazi's Ian MacKaye - is working in conjunction with other local organisations in the Washington, DC area to open the famous Inner Ear Studios up to young musicians, for free.
The label - home at one point or another to the wonderful likes of Faraquet, Q And Not U, Bluetip, Lungfish, Black Eyes, Hoover and Medications - is working alongside Ruffian Records and Swim-Two-Birds Studios, as well as Inner Ear, to help DC youngsters get material down on tape for no monetary outlay. The project's called the CD Free Recording Project. A what-it-says-on-the-tin affair, then.
To qualify for a five-hour session, bands must be at least fifty per cent over 18 and live in the Washington, DC area. Anyone wishing to be considered should e-mail the organisers via the project's website, linked below.

DisChord Bands
Fugazi are the best live band I've ever seen, and I've seen a few legends in their heydays. I can't imagine anyone who has an appreciation of bands not substantially concurring should they get the chance to see Fugazi themselves. Even Editor types, dragged to such a concert kicking and screaming they wanna go home may experience a damascene conversion. Believe.
q and not u
are a dischord band...
good grief, charlie brown.
it's comments like that
which make DiS the most read independent music site in Europe, don't ya know...
its possible that
Colin "No Kill No Beep Beep is the best album ever" Roberts was joking.
also, colin likes me, and i have, liek, a fifth of the dichord catalogue
...
i listened to View From This Tower on the way to work this morning - i'd foolishly not listened to it for ages, must have been some kind of premonition...
all of those bands, on that list up there, are very good.
