DC hardcore legends Scream have announced DC Special, their first new music since 2011 and first full-length since 1993. The record, which features contributions from Ian MacKaye, former drummer Dave Grohl, and more, is out November 10th via the storied Dischord Records. Along with the news, Scream have announced a run of 2023 tour dates, and shared the new song “DC Special Sha La La.” Listen below.
Scream’s original lineup — singer Pete Stahl, guitarist Franz Stahl, bassist Skeeter Thompson, and drummer Kent Stax — recorded DC Special at Washington, DC’s go-to punk studio, Inner Ear, with founder Don Zientara, while Minor Threat/Fugazi frontman Ian MacKaye provided additional production. The band’s first LP since 1993’s Fumble, and first overall release since the 2011 EP Complete Control Recording Sessions, has been a long time coming: In 2021, Scream launched a Kickstarter to fund the project, which ended up being one of the last things Zientara recorded at Inner Ear before being evicted from its historic location. Pre-orders for the album are ongoing.
Grohl — who replaced Stax on drums in the late ’80s before moving on to Nirvana in 1990 — contributes to DC Special, as does MacKaye, Jerry Busher, Amy Pickering, Mark Cisneros, Onam Emmett, Joe Lally, Bob Berberich, and John Goetchius, making the LP a true who’s-who of the DC music scene.
Next month, Scream will kick off a brief North American tour with Soul Side that includes shows in Los Angeles, Portland, Brooklyn, Philly, and, of course, DC. See the band’s full list of tour dates below, and grab tickets to a show via Ticketmaster.
