Plus: LCD Soundsystem, Psycho Las Vegas, Firefly, They Might Be Giants, Kurt Vile, Alkaline Trio, and more tour and festival news.

Washington DC native Jim Saah (who took the photo on the cover of Fugazi's Repeater) is publishing a book of never before seen photos from the DC punk/hardcore scene and beyond. Here's a sneak peak...

The eclectic playlist includes Blondie, Gojira, Failure, Neurosis, Fugazi, Battles, Jawbox, The Fall of Troy, Cave In, Quicksand, These Arms Are Snakes, Marvin Gaye, Tom Waits, Joey Bada$$, Lindsey Buckingham, Phoebe Bridgers, and much more...

It's the latest edition of Mikey and His Uke's pandemic-era punk cover series.

”I love the EP format,” said Brian Baker. ”So many of my favorite bands growing up (Damned, Clash, Black Flag to name a few) issued EPs between albums, and they were always special to me.”

The comp also features Fugazi covers by Failure, Shai Hulud, Teenage Halloween, Chamberlain, Viva Belgrado, Couch Slut, Into It. Over It., Jonah Matranga, Snapped Ankles, and more...

Including songs from Unwound, Black Sabbath, John Coltrane, Radiohead, Cave In, Kowloon Walled City, Des Ark, The Walkmen, Fugazi, Talk Talk, Jawbreaker, The National and more.

Ian MacKaye, who you may know from Minor Threat, Fugazi, Corky, or Dischord Records (if not all of those things) will be participating in a livestream Q&A on Thursday to benefit Seattle's all-ages music and arts venue The Vera Project.

”We need a book like this for everywhere,” said Fugazi's Guy Picciotto.

Dischord's first six 7"s, including Minor Threat, State of Alert, Teen Idles, Government Issue, and Youth Brigade, have been remastered with reproductions of the original artwork and lyrics sheets.
