What can you say about Minor Threat that hasn t already been said? The DC punk band, fronted by Ian MacKaye, launched the straight edge hardcore movement along with punk s DIY ethics. Minor Threat collects the band s first two releases which include songs like Straight Edge, In My Eyes and the first rendition of Out Of Step. Although the band was only around for a few years in the early 80s they have had a huge and lasting impact on punk. Their songs continue to be covered and many of the band members are still active in the scene. MacKaye, along with the band s former drummer Jeff Nelson, founded Dischord Records which is still active today.
