Minor Threat have released a new EP, titled Out of Step Outtakes, to mark the 40th anniversary of their only studio album. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify.
The three-song collection contains material recorded during the original Out of Step sessions in January 1983, Minor Threat’s first time in the studio as a five-piece band. During that period, they did new versions of “In My Eyes” and “Filler”. Using the remaining blank tape on the reel, they also recorded an instrumental called “Addams Family,” which wound up being used as a coda to “Cashing In.”
All three songs ended up being sealed in Minor Threat’s vault for over 35 years, until the multitrack tapes were taken to the studio to be digitized in 2021. Upon the discovery, singer Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara mixed the tracks to be included on Out of Step Outtakes. Pick up your 7-inch vinyl copy here.

A new EP containing unreleased Minor Threat music will coincide with the 40th anniversary of the band’s only full-length studio album, Out of Step. Aptly dubbed Out of Step Outtakes, the three-song EP contains material recording during the original Out of Step sessions in 1983. It will be released on December 1st via singer Ian MacKaye’s Dischord Records.
The sessions that spawned Out of Step Outtakes occurred in January 1983, marking Minor Threat’s first time in the studio as a five-piece band. Experimenting with the new sound, they cut new versions of their songs “In My Eyes” and “Filler,” both previously released on their debut EP, 1981’s Minor Threat, as well as a handful of other tracks. Afterwards, they had blank tape left on the reel, and decided to record an instrumental song titled “Addams Family,” which was ultimately adapted into a coda for Out of Step’s hidden track,...

The future Sonic Youth guitarist was just 18, but music was already at the center of his life and he saw shows as often as possible, learning new lessons from every gig he caught and every new 45 he picked up at record stores.

Nicknamed the godmother of Punk Rock, Joan Jett shot to fame as a founding member of The Runaways, a rock band made up of Jett, Sandy West, Jackie Fox, Lita Ford and Cherie Currie, a group of precocious and in-your-face teenage girls who were set to take the late 70s rock world by storm. In his new film Bad Reputation, music video director turned documentarian Kevin Kerslake attempts to shine a light on the legend of Jett and the ups and downs she suffered throughout her rocky career, and how she came back from the brink to become one of the most iconic female rock stars of all time.
Discovered at 15, Joan Jett cut an impressive figure amongst the remnants of the deeply uncool hippy era when she and the rest of The Runways broke onto a scene which didn’t know what to do with them. Exploding onto the...

For years, Lee Ving, the vocalist and leader of impish punk bruisers Fear, has been teasing the release of a song the group recorded with John Belushi in 1981. He's finally putting out the tune — the appropriately snotty-sounding "Neighbors," which was supposed to accompany the Belushi movie of the same name — digitally on Halloween and as a special seven-inch in November. But even before the decades-long wait for its release, the origins of the recording were steeped in strife.

The group only existed for three years and released 26 songs, but the '80's hardcore band Minor Threat are a seminal staple to anyone with a passing interest in the genre. Ian Mackaye and company arrived in the midst of a thriving scene that emerged in Washington, DC in the early part of that decade, one that birthed many influential bands and laid down a Diy ethos that would inspire countless others across the country and around the globe in the succeeding decades. It's a fascinating story told in Scott Crawford's documentary "Salad Days: A Decade Of Punk In Washington, DC (1980-90)," and today we have an exclusive clip from the film.

Before he was a member of two of the most popular rock bands in the world, Dave Grohl was a fan, just like us. And boy, was he adorable! At age 14, the Foo Fighters frontman and former drummer of Nirvana sent a letter to one of his music idols, rocker Ian MacKaye, then the frontman of popular hardcore punk band Minor Threat. The group broke up in the '80s and he later formed Fugazi. He is currently the lead singer of the group The Evens. Grohl, now 46, shared a photo of part of his fan mail on Foo Fighters' Instagram page this week, saying, "Look what my hero Ian Mackaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) just found: a letter I wrote to him when I was 14! Haha!" "Good thrash,"...

Foo Fighters' HBO series Sonic Highways visited Washington D.C. Friday night, which marked a homecoming of sorts for Dave Grohl: The rocker was raised in the Virginia suburbs outside of D.C. – his mother still lives there – and he started out drumming for area acts like Mission Impossible, Dain Bramage and "his favorite band ever," Scream.
In addition to recording the Sonic Highways track "The Feast and the Famine," Grohl also provides an extensive look at a pair of homegrown genres that became the backbone of the D.

Foo Fighters' HBO musical travelogue series Sonic Highways next visits Washington D.C., and Rolling Stone has your exclusive preview at what Dave Grohl considers to be his homecoming. Having grown up in the Virginia suburbs outside of D.C., Grohl got his start in the city's influential hardcore scene performing with local acts like Dain Bramage and Scream before popping up on Nirvana's radar.

We live in a time where singing about your butt, or other people's butts, is a surefire way to get to the top of charts and amass millions of YouTube views. But for those who like their music gritty, grimy, real and actually about something, there are two documentaries on the way to remind you that there's so much more to love outside the superficial pop sphere. First up is "Salad Days," which chronicles the vibrant and hugely influential DC punk scene of the '80s and '90s. Directed by Scott Crawford, and featuring input from Ian MacKaye, Brian Baker, Dave Grohl, Henry Rollins, Thurston Moore, Fred Armisen and more, it explores what was behind the relatively tiny scene that birthed bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Void, Fugazi, Government Issue, Dag Nasty, Embrace and many, many more. For those who thought punk started and ended with Sex Pistols,...

If boycotts, Congressional hearings or basic human decency weren't enough to convince Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder that it was time to change his team's name, perhaps Wednesday's decision by the U.S. Patent Office will do the trick.

Calling the name "disparaging of Native Americans," the Office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board canceled federal trademark registrations owned by the team, a move which could cost them millions in merchandise revenue (the team is expected to appeal the decision). And nothing hurts...

In 1991, Nirvana exploded with Nevermind, instantly changing the musical landscape and ushering "alternative" music into the mainstream. Their influence was immediate and undeniable, but that year, another band would release an album that would also have a lasting impression on a new generation of musicians. Four young lads from Louisville, Kentucky known as Slint quietly dropped their final album Spiderland, but in the two decades since, it has grown into one of the most post-rock albums of all time. And now, the story of the band and those songs is being told. Indie label Touch 'N Go are reissuing Spiderland in an expansive, very limited edition this spring, and part of the package — as we previously revealed — is a new documentary "Breadcrumb Trail," directed by Spike Jonze collaborator Lance Bangs. And the trailer for the film is finally here. And it looks pretty damn great. Featuring interviews with folks like Steve Albini,...

The Punk Singer starring Kathleen Hanna offers an intimate biographical portrait of the feminist art-punk icon, from her scrappy beginnings in Olympia, Washington, to the formation of Bikini Kill, the launch of the Riot Grrrl movement, Le Tigre and her latest band, the Julie Ruin. The film, which opens Friday in New York and Los Angeles, also steps inside her life with husband (and Beastie Boy) Adam Horovitz, as an ongoing struggle with late-stage Lyme disease forced her to step away from Le Tigre and go into treatment.

Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever #2
Various Artists
(I Will Destroy You/Microcosm)
It seems as though the saga of Henry and Glenn has sparked somewhat of an indie cottage industry. There are Henry and Glenn t-shirts, stickers and posters commemorating the comics union of these two punk rock icons. The series has even inspired imitators like gross out pro, Johnny Ryan, who threw his whip into the ring with a comic in Vice titled “Mark and Gary Forever” featuring Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh and the synth fiend Gary Numan staring as a not so ambiguously gay duo. For the uninitiated, Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever is the further adventures in a comics compilation depicting Henry Rollins (Black Flag, Rollins Band) and Glenn Danzig (Misfits, Samhain, Danzig) as gay lovers. Before you roll your eyes (which you are certainly justified in doing), it should be noted that these comics take the joke outside...

Minor Threat frontman Ian MacKaye says he’s absolutely fine with Urban Outfitters selling $28 T-shirts featuring his former band’s logo. Turns out that, unlike the Forever 21 shirt from 2009, the current model is legit and licensed. Because so many Minor Threat bootlegs had been popping up in the marketplace, MacKaye and Co. hired California-based Tsurt to produce and oversee sales of some T-shirts for the band. Though MacKaye is careful to clarify to the Washington City Paper that Dischord “doesn’t make T-shirts,” he said hiring Tsurt lets him spend his valuable time doing other things besides ...

Look at Lucian Perkins' work for too long and you may need a glass of water; you can practically feel the sweat permeate his black-and-white photos below.
The year was 1979 and the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer was documenting the burgeoning DC punk scene with a mission.Perkins was especially enamored by H.R., the lead singer of the band Bad Brains, telling the Washington Post of the performer's magnetic powers, "In many ways, it was like watching James Brown doing punk-style acrobatics."
The photos below capture the energy of punk and its symbiotic relationship between the performers and the crowd. (Also, we have to admit the outfits donned by rebellious youth in the '80s are truly priceless.)
Check out the photographs below, which are all published in Perkins' book Hard Art, DC 1979 .

What do punk rock, a Washington Post reporter and books have in common?
For the most part, nothing -- except for books by Washington Post reporters about punk rock.
That's exactly what "Hard Art, DC 1979" is -- a book featuring photos from four concerts during the early days of the District's hardcord punk scene taken in, you guessed it, 1979.
The photos were taken by Lucian Perkins, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist at The Washington Post, and the book also includes essays by D.C. rockers Alec MacKaye, the younger brother of Fugazi's Ian MacKaye, and Henry Rollins, who may be more famous for his acting than his musical chops (he's appeared in the films "Jack Frost" and "Jackass The Movie," among others).

If you've listened to music, in say, the past 35 years, you've probably heard D.C. native Ian MacKaye's voice -- fronting a slew of bands from Fugazi to Minor Threat.
On May 7, he decided against melodies and opted for the spoken word at the Library of Congress during an hour and a half talk where he spoke about everything from his columnist grandmother to file sharing to smartphones.
Here are some of the most interesting tidbits from MacKaye's talk, courtesy of Spin:
If you are a rockstar, singing about love, perhaps it's in your genes:
My grandmother, Dorothy MacKaye, under the name Dorothy Disney, wrote a column for the Ladies' Home Journal called ‘Can This Marriage Be Saved?' It was essentially a column where she would interview a man and a woman who were having difficulty in their marriage and then a counselor who would weigh in on their problems.

In a letter published in a downstate Illinois newspaper, popular Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy wrote the "time is now" for marriage equality in the land of Lincoln.
Writing in the Belleville News-Democrat, Tweedy -- a Belleville, Ill. native now based in Chicago -- urged the Illinois state House of Representatives to approve same-sex marriage legislation:
By excluding same-sex couples from marriage, our state saddles them, their children and itself with second-class status. That is wrong, and it hurts Illinois families and businesses. … Nine other states have already extended the freedom to marry to gay and lesbian couples. I work and have friends in all those states, and I can say assuredly that it's time for Illinois to join them.
Tweedy has been outspoken about his support for marriage equality. Last year, he joined Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü) and Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) and other musicians in speaking out against...

With everything from the Arab Spring, to Occupy Wall Street, to the protests that are still ongoing in Egypt, the topic of democracy, revolution and change has been at the forefront of many conversations. And there is perhaps no better time for the documentary "Let Fury Have The Hour," an exploration of the artistic response that comes in the wake of oppressive political climates. The feature directorial debut from acclaimed author, visual artist, and filmmaker Antonino D’Ambrosio chronicles how a generation of artists, thinkers and activists used their creativity -- and their creations -- as a response to the reactionary politics that came to define 1980s culture. To help tell the story, D'Ambrosio rounded up an array of folks including John Sayles, Chuck D, Shepard Fairey, Lewis Black, Ian MacKaye, Billy Bragg and many more to talk about how the heyday of Reagan and Thatcher informed their creative output.

Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat) and wife Amy Farina (The Warmers) have been busy raising 4-year-old Carmine (that’s him on the album’s cover), so it’s understandable why they haven’t released a full-length album as The Evens since 2006. The clock will be reset next week with the arrival of The Odds and NPR is giving fans an advanced listen as the album is streamed in its entirety. The 13-track collection is available for pre-order now through Dischord Records (the label MacKaye founded in 1980 with Minor Threat bandmate Jeff Nelson). Listen to the new album here....
