Government Issue Reunites for a One-Off Show
Founded in 1980 by vocalist John Stabb and guitarist John Barry, Washington D.C.'s cult hardcore punk outfit Government Issue — which at one time included Minor Threat's Brian Baker and Steve Hansgen — reunites for a one-off performance this Saturday. The lineup features John Stabb (vocals), Tom Lyle (guitar), J. Robbins (bass), and Pete Moffett (drums). Known for blending hardcore punk with heavy metal, and later psychedelic/goth rock, the band made waves on the DC scene between 1980–1989.
