Live 1982

Void: Live 1982 – roaring out of the vault after 40+ years, this live recording from Dischord's most  volatile and energetic band sounds just as fresh and urgent as the day it was captured.

The A-side features the band's performance from the Wilson Center in April of 1982, on a monster bill that included Minor Threat, Iron Cross, Double O and The Faith. Recorded just a few months before the legendary Faith/Void LP was released, this side boasts classic tracks from that record such as "Ask Them Why", "Ignorant People" and a particularly incendiary version of "Who Are You?" with Bubba Dupree's riffs and John Weiffenbach's vocals scraping right up to the edge of madness.

The B-side offers the December '82 show from DC's legendary 9:30 Club, where they shared the bill with Negative Approach and blew the place out of the water with hardcore classics like "Time To Die", "My Rules" and "Organized Sports" alongside newer, metal-tinged tracks like "Bloodlust" that would go on to influence a whole new genre of music.

Both shows were professionally recorded by Tom Lyle from Government Issue, with photos from titan of the scene Jim Saah and art from longtime Dischord designer Jason Farrell. Void – Live 1982 is an incredible collection from one of DC's most influential bands.
