Dischord Records
Dischord Records
is a
Washington, D.C.
-based
independent record label
specializing in the independent
punk
music of the
D.C.-area music scene
. The label is co-owned by
Ian MacKaye
and
Jeff Nelson
, who founded Dischord in 1980 to release
Minor Disturbance
by
The Teen Idles
. Along 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 pre-
Nirvana
indie-rock scene. 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.
