Out of step was their second Ep and helped establish Minor Threat as the forerunners of hardcore.
S/T
On their only LP, Minor Threat include 11 hardcore/punk/sXe songs; every song is a classic and has spawned hundreds of imitators. The production is a little sloppy but the lyrics, vocals and unrestrained aggresion more than make up for that. Contains "Straight Edge" the song that started a whole movement. Buy this right now!
Ian Mackaye later joined Fugazi a very un-punk band.
