Formed in the late 1970s as The Stains and playing their first gig under this name in August 1980, MDC were one of three pioneering hardcore punk bands in Austin, Texas , in the early ’80s, alongside The Dicks and Big Boys . These bands frequently played together and established the Austin hardcore scene. They released one single as The Stains in 1981, featuring a slower version of the future MDC song “John Wayne Was a Nazi” backed with “Born to Die”. Both songs were later released on the debut MDC album.
