Today, beloved Washington, DC, hardcore punk band Scream has shared DC Special via Dischord Records. Stream the album via Apple Music and Spotify below.
DC Special is Scream’s first full-length album since 1993, and their first release since 2011. The album sees Scream’s original members Pete Stahl, Franz Stahl, Skeeter Thompson, and Kent Stax team up once more for a 12-track LP. The album also features key names in the hardcore punk scene — including production credits from Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi, and contributions from Nirvana’s Dave Grohl, former Scream drummer.
Scream launched a Kickstarter for the album in 2021, and recorded the album at Inner Ear Studios — an integral studio to the DC hardcore scene. Pick up a physical copy of the album here.
