Brian Baker was too young to drive when he started playing the early ’80s punk circuit as the teenage bassist for Minor Threat.
By 1986, he was in the driver’s seat – both as the founding guitarist and creative force behind melodic D.C. hardcore quartet Dag Nasty, and as the guy who owned the van. With the latter in mind, Baker credits his dad – and misappropriated tuition funds – for getting him on the road.
