John Stabb & Government Issue: DC’s Fearless Weirdos | w/ Paul Vodra

Our guest is Paul Vodra of Hometown Sounds, a long-running newsletter and archive dedicated to modern D.C. music. Together, we explore the band’s legendary frontman John Stabb, whom Jay Robbins once called a “fearless weirdo,” and their 1981 debut EP Legless Bull, which was the fourth release from Dischord Records. We trace GI’s riotous beginnings at the Unheard Music Festival, their clashes with cops and crowds, and their place in a rapidly forming D.C. hardcore scene. From Stabb’s theatrical presence to Ian MacKaye’s unexpected producer credit, this episode captures a moment when D.C. punk was still inventing itself. 🎧 Featuring clips from Legless Bull, scene stories from Dance of Days, and reflections on how the straight edge movement reshaped music venues forever. 🔗 Go Further: • Hometown Sounds, Paul Vodra’s DC music newsletter • Dance of Days by Mark Andersen and Mark Jenkins 📌 Follow Us: • Instagram / X / TikTok: @dcrockpod • Email: dcrockpod@gmail.com • Philip Basnight – Broke Royals (‪@BrokeRoyals‬) • Paul Vodra (https://hometownsoundsdc.com/ + ‪@HometownSounds‬)
