Minor Threat - Minor Threat

An essential collection for understanding the energy and urgency of Washington, D.C. hardcore, bringing together the first two EPs in a sequence of short, fast and intense tracks.

Abrasive guitars, rapid rhythms and cutting vocals deliver a direct and uncompromising attitude, while the lyrics explore alienation, conformity, frustration and personal independence. The raw production enhances the immediate impact of the recordings, preserving the sense of proximity and spontaneity that defined the underground scene. This edition is pressed on coloured vinyl, making it an appealing addition for collectors as well. A fundamental document of American hardcore and an essential reference for the development of more aggressive and independent forms of punk.
