Customers have the option to download entire albums for a set price (usually $7), purchase Digital Credits (15 credits for $10) that can be used to download individual songs, or receive a free album download with the purchase of a 12" vinyl LP from our store.

We have also added a media player to our site which which features streaming songs and video from Dischord artists. Content for the media player will be updated continually as we find and adapt high quality material from our archives and from users. In the future we will also add more cool features to the player so stay tuned.

This "digital" website (dischord 3.0) was programmed and built by Jerrod Blavos of Indierockmedia with front-end design and concept contributions by Pau Santesmasses. The project is managed by Alec Bourgeois of Dischord Records. Special thanks go to our support team at Datapipe, Jay Gordon, Jeremiah Sullivan and Bill Dolan. They go above and beyond for us and we can't thank them enough.

This website will always remain a work in progress and we welcome any comments or critiques from our fans and customers. If you do experience difficulties or spot bugs please contact Alec at and he'll try to address them ASAP. You can also direct questions about items in our store to Basla at .

These CDs and digital downloads are not available anywhere else.

Now that we have our digital download site enabled the Fugazi band-members will begin to work on introducing more shows to the series in digital MP3 format. The original plan for the initial 30 shows was to allow the CDs to go out of print and have the albums remain available only as downloads, however, we have decided to keep these CDs in print for as long as there continues to be demand for them.

Faraquet "Anthology 1998-98" Available Here Now, In Stores July 28

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0000

In the summer of 2007 the members of Faraquet announced plans to re-issue the songs they had recorded for various singles and split releases onto a compilation CD/LP/MP3. All the songs were re-mixed by Devin Ocampo and re-mastered by Chad Clark at Silver Sonya. Working on this project rekindled the band-members' interest in playing the songs and the band reunited (minus bass player Jeff Boswell) for a Brazilian tour in 2007 and plan to perform periodically with the full original line-up once the album is released.

This album will represent the first Dischord release to be available in the digital MP3 format directly from the Dischord Records website. Our new "digital" website will launch on or before June 30th and will feature digital downloads of every Dischord album from our catalog as well as free album downloads with 12" vinyl purchases.
