The Warmers were a post-hardcore band based in Washington, D.C. that recorded and performed from July 1994 through December 1997. A trio act that featured Alec MacKaye (guitar and vocals), Juan Luis Carrera (bass and vocals), and Amy Farina (drums), The Warmers released two recordings through the Washington D.C. based record label Dischord Records. Their self titled album The Warmers, released in February 1996, saw some success on college radio charts and remains a hidden treasure for fans of indie-rock and the D.C. Punk music scene. A second album entitled Wanted: More was released posthumously in May 2004 and features six songs recorded in December 1996. Their song "Poked It With A Stick", originally from their album The Warmers, is featured on the three-CD compilation album 20 Years of Dischord.
