Dag Nasty

Hardcore punk
Hardcore punk

Dag Nasty is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Buzzcocks, Ian MacKaye, Descendents, XTC and The Damned. Those roots explain a lot about how Dag Nasty arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Gray Matter, Lifetime, The Teen Idles, Circle Jerks and Minor Threat, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Fugazi, Goo Goo Dolls, Lifetime, Inside Out and Bane, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Dag Nasty, reaching back through Buzzcocks and forward to Fugazi.

Background

Dag Nasty was an American hardcore punk band from Washington D.C., formed in 1985 by guitarist Brian Baker of Minor Threat, drummer Colin Sears and bassist Roger Marbury, both of Bloody Mannequin Orchestra, and vocalist Shawn Brown. Their style of less aggressive, melodic hardcore was influential to post-hardcore.
