Rozzlyn Rangers

Rozzlyn Rangers

Rozzlyn Rangers were a short-lived, comedic punk rock band from Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s. Comprising Ian MacKaye of the legendary hardcore band Minor Threat (later of seminal 90s rock act Fugazi), Sab Grey of Iron Cross, Nathan Strejcek (Teen Idles, Youth Brigade) and Rich Moore, the Rozzlyn Rangers are only known to have recorded one song ("Rozzlyn Rangers") which remained rare and unreleased until Dischord Records released their "20 Years Of Dischord" box set in 2004, which contained the song on the set's disc of rarities and unreleased tracks. The song "Rozzlyn Rangers" has been referred to as the "Dischord House Theme Song," referring to the house that Dischord Records runs their business out of. At the time, several young members of the early-80s D.C. hardcore punk scene lived at the house and held practice for their bands. The label was founded in 1980 by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, then of The Teen Idles.
