Thurston Moore on the Faith/Void Split — DC Punk’s Most Explosive Album

In this episode of DC Rock History, we break down one of the most influential hardcore records of all time, the Faith/Void Split released in 1982 on Dischord Records. This essential document of early DC punk captured two radically different but equally vital sounds on a single LP: the tightly focused intensity of Faith and the chaotic hardcore experimentalism of Void.
