The Faith / Void Split LP

Originally released in 1982, the Faith / Void Split LP captures two of D.C. hardcore’s defining acts at the height of their early powers. Void delivers a ferocious, chaotic brand of hardcore, with John Weiffenbach’s snarling vocals, Bubba Dupree’s jagged guitar lines, Chris Stover’s driving bass, and Sean Finnegan’s relentless drumming. Faith, on the other hand, balances intensity with melody, led by Alec MacKaye’s urgent vocals, Michael Hampton’s intricate guitar work, Chris Bald’s propulsive bass, and Ivor Hanson’s precise rhythms.

Pressed on vinyl by Dischord Records, this split LP remains a cornerstone of early American hardcore, showcasing raw energy, innovative songwriting, and the uncompromising spirit of a scene that helped define a generation.
