***This single includes two new songs by Washington, DC's DAG NASTY. For this session, the band returned to its original lineup: guitarist BRIAN BAKER, singer SHAWN BROWN, bassist ROGER MARBURY, and drummer COLIN SEARS. The songs were recorded in December of 2015 at Inner Ear Studios with DON ZIENTARA and IAN MACKAYE. Formed in 1985, Dag Nasty put out two albums on Dischord (Can I Say and Wig Out At Denko's) as well as subsequent full-lengths on Giant, Epitaph, and Revelation. Though Brown was the band’s original vocalist, he left the group shortly after its first recording session and was replaced by singer DAVE SMILEY, who appeared on their debut album. Long shelved, Brown’s recordings with Dag Nasty were officially released by Dischord in 2010 as Dag With Shawn. These two songs mark the first time that this lineup has been in the studio together since October 1985, almost exactly 30 years ago.

***After only three months of playing shows, DAG NASTY went into Inner Ear Studios with IAN MACKAYE. Dag With Shawn was recorded on Halloween Day 1985 and features the original line-up of the band with SHAWN BROWN on vocals. Initially songs from this session were to be released as a four-song 7-inch on Dischord, but shortly after the recording Shawn left Dag Nasty and the tape was shelved. In early 1986 the band re-recorded the entire album with new vocalist DAVE SMALLEY and released it as Can I Say. Shawn went on to form the much loved SWIZ and Dag Nasty went through several more line-up changes over the years, including another vocal switch when Dave Smalley was replaced by PETER CORTNER. This original session has only been previously available as partial out-takes and unauthorized bootlegs and, until now, has never been released in its complete form. This recording, taken from restored master tapes, offers a unique view into the early development of one of DC’s most influential bands. LP includes a download.
