Minor Threat was an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1980 in Washington, D.C., by vocalist Ian MacKaye and drummer Jeff Nelson. MacKaye and Nelson had played in several other bands together, and recruited bassist Brian Baker and guitarist Lyle Preslar to form Minor Threat. They added a fifth member, Steve Hansgen, in 1982, playing bass, while Baker switched to second guitar. The band was relatively short-lived, disbanding after only three years together, but had a strong influence in the emerging American hardcore punk scene, both stylistically and in helping to further establish the "do it yourself" ethic for music distribution and concert promotion. Minor Threat's song "Straight Edge" was the basis of the straight edge movement, which emphasized a lifestyle without alcohol or other drugs, or promiscuous sex. AllMusic said the band's music was "iconic" and noted that it "had held up better than  most of their contemporaries." Along with the fellow Washington, D.C. hardcore band Bad Brains and California band Black Flag, Minor Threat set the standard for many hardcore punk bands in the 1980s and 1990s. All of Minor Threat's recordings were released on MacKaye's and Nelson's own label, Dischord Records. The EPs, Minor Threat (1981) and Out of Step (1983), have received a number of accolades and are cited as landmarks of the hardcore punk genre. Prior to forming Minor Threat in 1980, vocalist Ian MacKaye and drummer Jeff Nelson had played bass and drums respectively in the Teen Idles while attending what was then Wilson High School. During their two-year career within the flourishing Washington, D.C. hardcore punk scene, the Teen Idles had gained a following of around one hundred fans and were seen as only second within the scene to the contemporary Bad Brains. MacKaye and Nelson were strong believers in the DIY mentality and an independent, underground music scene. After the breakup of the Teen Idles, they used the money earned through the band to create Dischord Records, an independent record label that would host the releases of the Teen Idles, Minor Threat, and numerous other D.C. punk bands. Bands such as Rage Against the Machine, Good Charlotte, Bad Religion, NOFX, AFI, Rise Against, Agnostic Front, Lifetime, Corrosion of Conformity and Thrice have all cited Minor Threat as an influence. Minor Threat along with Black Flag and Hüsker Dü are credited as the Hardcore punk bands and post-hardcore bands who influenced early acts in the emo genre. The band has also had their songs covered by various bands such as Foo Fighters and Slayer. (*~*)
