Around Easter 1986, Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, former <a href="spotify:artist:07PiZYrhllpSXtELkUxlrf">Minor Threat</a> members, went to London and recorded a few experimental, post-hardcore songs for <a href="spotify:artist:266cAO89rZnpYwzM4mX79F">John Loder</a> of Southern Studios. The trio decided to release a single under the festive name Egg Hunt with Dischord Records, the label MacKaye and Nelson founded and owned. Since MacKaye's band <a href="spotify:artist:5Lzz2tZ2hKO8PDslKBQgZL">Embrace</a> had broken up, he and Nelson decided to try turn the project into a bona fide band. After returning to D.C., the two recruited former <a href="spotify:artist:1O1KSL8MigYkNx3p2PXjA9">Gray Matter</a> members Geoff Turner and Steve Niles, but the band went nowhere. Nelson, Turner, and Niles then joined ex-<a href="spotify:artist:1O1KSL8MigYkNx3p2PXjA9">Gray Matter</a> guitarist Mark Haggerty to form Three, while MacKaye brought the emocore sound he had been mining in <a href="spotify:artist:5Lzz2tZ2hKO8PDslKBQgZL">Embrace</a> and Egg Hunt to <a href="spotify:artist:62sC6lUEWRjbFqXpMmOk4G">Fugazi</a>. ~ Ron DePasquale, Rovi
