One Last Wish - 1986

Originally recorded in 1986, One Last Wish’s singular album 1986 captures the intensity and experimentation of Washington, D.C.’s post-hardcore scene at its peak. Featuring Michael Hampton on guitar and vocals, Brendan Canty on drums, Edward Janney on vocals and bass, and Guy Picciotto on vocals and guitar, the band channels raw energy, intricate musicianship, and brooding lyricism into every track.

This 12" LP reissue, arriving for the first time in December 2008, preserves the urgent, unpolished sound that made One Last Wish a cult classic. Essential for fans of Dischord Records and ’80s D.C. hardcore, 1986 stands as a definitive document of a pivotal moment in underground music history.
