For Love Of Records Pay Tribute To Dischord Records With “Yesterday & Today: DC Does Dischord” Double Album

For Love Of Records have released a new double tribute double album in honor of the seminal Washington, DC music label Dischord Records. Featuring more than two dozen local area artists covering songs spanning some of the label’s most well-known and even lesser-known bands, Yesterday & Today: DC Does Dischord delivers a hard-hitting and comprehensive reflection on more than 40 years of the pivotal Dischord Records catalogue. A portion of the proceeds will go to help local Washington, DC senior outreach charity We Are Family DC.

For Love Of Records is a fully-DIY venture by Celebration Summer bassist Greg Raelson created with the intent of putting together a premier compilation to highlight local area bands and artists while paying tribute to the record label that has defined so much of his own musical journey. In creating this project, almost everything has been DC-centric by design. From working with local area fine artists for the packaging and design, to having local vinyl pressing plant Furnace Records handle the production. It reads as a love-letter not just to Dischord Records, but to the greater Washington, DC area.

“I wanted to do something special to bring some attention to the amazing alternative, punk and hardcore scene currently happening in our area. And in doing so, pay respect to the label that put DC underground music on the map in the first place.” (Greg Raelson)
