***"DC hardcore, wot is it? A sound as diverse as the scene it represents, DCHC is more a state of being than a brand name. This compilation serves as a survey of DCHC today, many different outlooks, experiences and approaches but a common thread of devotion to the underground, which is no mistake as this record was literally recorded underground, beneath the floor of a certain record store in the NW quadrant of the district, the same block where members of half the bands work and interact on a daily basis.

The first release from Second Street Records, this compilation features DC cornerstones like Brain Tourniquet and Grand Scheme, as well as newer additions like Reason Why and Sluggo. Each band embodies a different aspect of our scene, all flowing together into a non-stop DC diy concentrate."
