About this album

Minor Threat is a landmark hardcore compilation that helped define the genre’s sharp, disciplined blast of US punk. Released in 1984, it gathers the Washington, D.C. band’s early recordings, including era-defining songs such as Straight Edge, Out of Step and In My Eyes, all driven by Ian MacKaye’s urgent vocals and the group’s brief, explosive arrangements. Drawing on the city’s tight punk scene, the record distilled hardcore into something faster, leaner and more confrontational than mainstream rock, while its straight edge ideas became central to punk culture well beyond its original moment. Its influence remains foundational in hardcore and alternative music.
