Dag Nasty was a bit of a mid-80's D.C. Hardcore supergroup. The band consisted of singer Dave Smalley (ex singer of Boston's DYS), guitarist Brian Baker (ex Minor Threat), and others. The album was also produced by Ian MacKay (Minor Threat founder and hardcore giant). The music is clear, punchy, powerful, with the hints of emo to come. Surprisingly catchy songs with fairly complex harmonies just added to the overall appeal of Dag Nasty. Like many bands in the mid-80's they found themselves in that middle ground between pure hardcore and pre-grunge.
