With bands like the Bad Brains , Teen Idles , Minor Threat , S.O.A. , Void , The Faith , Youth Brigade , Government Issue , The Untouchables, Red C, Marginal Man, Scream , Black Market Baby and United Mutations. In the mid 80's came bands like Embrace , Rites Of Spring , Three, Ignition and Rain during a time period quoted by some as "Revolution Summer." Dischord Records , run by Ian MacKaye , the frontman for Minor Threat , and later Embrace and Fugazi put out records by many of these bands. Some other important record labels of the 1980's in D.C. include Fountain of Youth and DSI. Due to Dischord 's popularity and influence, very few D.C. based bands who were not on Dischord have received much attention from outside of the DC Metro area. Hardcore in D.C also grew a large following in the late 80's to mid 90's with bands like Swiz, Touchdown, World's Collide, Initial Reaction, Fury, Battery, Gauge, and Damnation A.D., with a majority of these bands releasing albums on Jade Tree Records , THD, and Sammich. Today, the surrounding scene (pretty much including anything within the Capital Beltway as "D.C.") is still quite popular locally, having produced such past and present bands as Better Than A Thousand , For the Living, Striking Distance, No Justice, Desperate Measures, Barfight, Worn Thin, Brace, and The Suspects, and more recent bands like Moment of Youth, Lion of Judah, Set To Explode, Time To Escape, Bail Out!, VPR, Porch Mob, The Commie Pinkos, and In My Way.
