Dischord

Dischord Records is an independent record label based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1980 by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, Dischord has been a pioneering force in the punk and alternative music scene for over four decades. With a commitment to DIY ethics and artistic integrity, Dischord has released influential albums from bands such as Minor Threat, Fugazi, and Rites of Spring.

Known for its distinctive sound and uncompromising attitude, Dischord Records continues to support emerging artists who challenge conventions and push boundaries. The label's catalog spans various genres including punk rock, post-hardcore, emo, and indie rock. By championing artists with unique voices and perspectives, Dischord remains at the forefront of underground music culture.

As one of the longest-running independent labels in the United States, Dischord Records has maintained its commitment to artist ownership and control. With a focus on fostering long-term relationships with its roster of talented musicians, the label provides them with creative freedom while offering a platform for their work to reach a wider audience. Discover groundbreaking music that defies expectations on Dischord Records.

Formed in Washington, D.C. in January of 2014, the Effects are Devin Ocampo, Matthew Dowling, and David Rich. A multi-instrumentalist, Ocampo is a former member of the bands Faraquet, Medications, Smart Went Crazy, and Deathfix, all of whom released music on Dischord. He has also toured and recorded with Mary Timony, Beauty Pill, and J. Robbins. Dowling was the bassist and co-leader of Deleted Scenes, while Rich was the drummer in the instrumental group, Buildings. Both released music on the experimental-minded (and now defunct) local record label, Sock-ets. Devin met both Matt and David years before and while there had been talk of a possible collaboration everyone had their own projects at the time. However, by 2014 all were between bands and it finally made sense to get together and start something new. For the trio, playing together was a nice change in routine. It was a new configuration of musicians, rather than a recombination of old friends and former bandmates, which happens regularly in the close-knit music scene of Washington D.C. Matt and David offered a fresh perspective and (possibly) gave the Devin a nudge out of his comfort zone. Their full-length debut, Eyes to the Light is released on Dischord.
