Southern Records is an important record label closely associated with Dischord Records. Like Dischord, it is based in London & Chicago. Most of the items on the list of bands on Southern Records can be found on the list of bands on Dischord Records.
This label can be seen as an outgrowth of Dischord Records' local Wahington, DC origins. In its nomenclature it aspires to a punk rock/emo geocultural coverage of the southern United States. Washington DC is an historical entrepot for those leaving the US South due to problems of racialism. In addition the new label constitutes a commensurately expanded creative space for the talent at Dischord in terms of artistic maturation. In other words, it represents a 'second generation' of musical management and product generation for the ground-breaking personnel of Dischord who helped found the artistic musical movement called punk rock in the late 1970s at Dischord with bands such as Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Void and many others. Southern Records is accessible online.
