URGENT NEWS:

On July 17, John Stabb of Government Issue was attacked and beaten pretty severely by a gang of thugs. He's going to need extensive reconstructive surgery and is currently in the hospital. The medical bills are gonna be outrageous, but you can donate money to help offset the costs. Just click on the "Help John Stabb" banner above (or below). There will also be benefit auctions and concerts, so if you have some LPs/7"s/CDs to donate or play in band, keep your eyes peeled for more info.

Welcome to THUD, a website on its way up, despite some recent downtime. The focus, obviously, is Washington DC, and to be more specific DC rock. There's been some interest in the non-Dischord side of DC, especially since the release of Dance of Days by Marks Jenkins and Anderson, but not a whole lot of information available. This website will hopefully change some of that, with a comprehensive listing of DC bands from 19-whenever til today, and a complete DC discography.

I've made a start of this, but there's no way I'll be able to do it all. Without your help I probably won't get a damned thing done. So cruise the site, check it all out, and drop me a line if you think you can help, or just to say hello. Band members especially are encouraged to get in touch, even if I savaged your record in my discography listing.

2005/12/22: I've added more than 40 records to the discography in the past few days, and have at least that many more to go...

2005/03/26: More goodies in the mp3 section, forum back up.
