{"title":"Minor Threat Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed in 1980 and discontinued in 1983, Minor Threat is considered one of the most influential American hardcore punk bands of the early '80s. They released one full-length and three EPs. After breaking up, frontman Ian MacKaye resurfaced in Fugazi. When Geordie quit The Teen Idles, Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson decided to form a new band with Ian MacKaye on vocals instead of bass. They started playing with Lyle Preslar, who sang for the Extorts and wanted to switch to guitar. Lyle introduced them to Brian Baker, another Georgetown Day School punk who was not only a guitar player, but one who had a Marshall guitar amplifier! Brian Baker started playing bass in November of 1980 and the band played its first show a month later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinor Threat and SOA were part of a small wave of new kids and bands in DC, many of who were not into drugs and alcohol. Some of the bands made mention of this in their lyrics, and Minor Threat's song \"Straight Edge\" coined the phrase that is now used to describe a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band played regularly and definitely had a following, but broke up at the end of the summer when Lyle left DC to go to college. Six months later, dissatisfaction with school and a sense of unfinished business prompted Lyle to drop out and, to the surprise of some of the punks in DC, Minor Threat reformed in April 1982. That fall, Steve Hansgen joined to play bass while Brian moved to second guitar and the band recorded and toured as a five-piece until June of 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinor Threat played a few more shows as a four-piece that summer, but they were not getting along. They were unable to agree on the direction of the music, and ended up spending more time arguing than playing in the practice space. They were also divided about how the band should be run, and whether or not offers from other labels should be considered. Faced with this dilemma, the members decided that it would be better for all involved to shut it down.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"minor-threat-minor-threat-32569","title":"Minor Threat – Minor Threat","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinor Threat, compiled in 1984, collects the band’s early EPs Minor Threat (1981) and In My Eyes (1981), presenting foundational tracks in one volume. The compilation offers a stark, concentrated burst of early hardcore: sprinting tempos, raw guitar attack, and Ian MacKaye’s confrontational vocals. There’s little ornamentation—no elaborate bridges or solos—just immediacy, brevity, and force. Tracks such as “Straight Edge,” “Filler,” and “Out of Step” exemplify the band’s blend of moral urgency and punk paranoia, captured with minimal production and maximum tension. \nEven though it’s a compilation, this collection functions as a cohesive statement of intent from a band setting the blueprint for D.C. hardcore. Its influence extends beyond punk — it helped seed the straight edge movement and inspired countless underground acts to embrace DIY ethics and unvarnished expression. To listeners new and old, the record remains a pulse-quickening entry point into a sound that refuses excess and thrives on conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The posthumous Minor Threat compiles the band’s two initial 7-inch EPs … the twelve selections effectively define the city’s hardcore sound, with a powerhouse adrenalized rush … if you haven’t heard them … you have never — repeat, never — heard hardcore.” – Trouser Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Minor Threat\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Dischord Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/alternative-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePunk \u0026amp;

Any number of restrained turn-of-the-century emo acts could refer to songs on 'out of step' as much as fiery punk's-not-dead revivalists is demonstration enough of the record's impact.
