Scream formed in 1979. Drummer Kent Stacks, bassist Skeeter Enoch Thompson and the
brothers Pete and Franz Stahl attended school together in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia,
when they began to discover the punk and new wave scene in DC and the provocative
power of making music.

Like most of the punk bands in DC, they were influenced by the Bad Brains, but their rock and roll sensibilities set them apart. In 1982, they went into Inner Ear Studio with Ian
MacKaye and Eddie Janney to record Dischord's first full length album, Still Screaming.

Scream followed this with a second full length album, This Side Up, in 1984. The band
toured throughout the US and were one of the first US hardcore bands to tour Europe and the UK. In 1987, they released Banging the Drum, which was recorded at both Southern Studios in London and Inner Ear. In 1988, No More Censorship was released on reggae label RAS records. Scream returned to Dischord to release Fumble in 1993.
They made a few line-up changes along the way, including the addition of their friend
Harley Davidson on second guitar, and, when Kent Stacks (RIP) left the band to start a
family, they asked a young local drummer, Dave Grohl, to take over. After a number of
years with & the Scream team," Dave went on to join Nirvana and form The Foo Fighters.

In 1996, at a Christmas reunion show, Kent Stacks returned as Scream’s drummer; the
show was recorded and released as the CD “Live at the Black Cat.” Over the next few
years, everyone branched out in different directions – Franz joined the Foos for a short
period and Pete played with Goatsnake and earthlings? The band returned as a unit, with

Clint Walsh on second guitar, in 2011 to record the Complete Control Sessions, which was
released as an EP on Side One Dummy and was, until now, the band’s most recent
release.
Scream’s newest album, DC Special, will be released in the fall of 2023 on Dischord
Records. For this record, Scream invited their extensive music community to help create a
unique project that weaves the history of music in Washington DC into the story of the
band. Recorded by Don Zientara just weeks before his studio was evicted from its
longtime location, the record is rich with both the sounds of Inner Ear and those of friends
and musicians who influenced Scream and who shaped DC music over the past six
decades. DC Special embodies the same sense of community and politics that inspired
Scream from the start and is a truly special collection of new music that speaks to the
present and also tells the story of DC music, Scream, and the influences that shaped
them.
