The Virginia-reared hardcore band Scream have announced a new album, their first release in a dozen years. It’s titled DC Special and it’s out November 10 via Dischord. The band have previewed their next LP with the track “DC Special Sha La La.” Check it out below with the rest of the tracklist and the band’s forthcoming tour dates.
Skeeter Enoch Thompson, Kent Stax, and brothers Franz and Pete Stahl released Still Screaming, their first album together, in 1983. They reunited for DC Special, which they recorded with Don Zientara and Ian Mackaye at Zientara’s revered Inner Ear Studio before its original location was shuttered in 2021. The album features further contributions from Amy Pickering, Mark Cisneros, Joe Lally, and more. Dave Grohl, who served as the band’s drummer for a spell later in the 1980s, also makes an appearance on DC Special.
Scream last issued new music in 2011 with their Complete Control Recording Sessions EP. Their most recent studio album is 1993’s Fumble.
