Egg Hunt was a one-off band/project of longtime friends and musicians Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, former singer and drummer, respectively, of the hardcore punk band Minor Threat.

[1] The project was dubbed "Egg Hunt" due to the recording session occurring over Easter weekend on March 27, 28, and 30.

Egg Hunt's only release, a self-titled 7-inch, was, according to retrospective review by Ron DePasquale, an example of "experimental, post-hardcore" music.

[4] Although seemingly a small release in comparison to Dischord's significant catalog, this record is still a notable example of MacKaye and Nelson's songwriting abilities, as well as their chemistry together as artists.

[5] They recruited former Gray Matter members Steve Niles and Geoff Turner, but MacKaye's energy and creativity were soon directed toward the forming of Fugazi, while Nelson, Turner, Niles, and former Gray Matter guitarist Mark Haggerty started the Dischord band, Three.
