The Argument
11/19/2001, LAUNCH, Rob O'Connor
Well, it's about time. Sure, some punk rock knuckleheads will resist the addition of PIANO and STRINGS (OK, it's the cello, the instrument Nirvana made cool). Even those...

The Argument
7/13/2005, AMG
It's unfortunate that a band so forward looking as Fugazi has been criticized over and over for not remaking "Waiting Room" or "Repeater." Some have called them sellouts,...

Red Medicine
6/12/1995, LAUNCH, S.L. Duff
It might take a while to fully connect, but Fugazi's latest is their farthest reaching and most complete. Slabs of noise, thick hunks of bass and guitar, dynamic...

Red Medicine
7/13/2005, AMG
Retreating from the skinned-knee production values of In on the Kill Taker, Red Medicine packs more rhythmic punch and shows more range. With more drive and playful...

Instrument
7/13/2005, AMG
Fugazi finally released a career retrospective after more than a decade together, though in true indie fashion, Instrument is far from your average band's greatest-hits...

In On The Kill Taker
6/1/1993, LAUNCH, S.L. Duff
More emphasis on full-frontal attack, and still a great record, but lacks some of the well-thought out musical variety and change-ups the band had worked so hard to...

In On The Kill Taker
7/13/2005, AMG
In on the Kill Taker is like scrubbing your face with steel wool. It finds the band relying on rusty guitar shards that scrape, seethe, and hiss, further removing itself...

13 Songs
11/1/1989, LAUNCH, S.L. Duff
One of Dischord's first CD releases, this disc combines the first two vinyl EPs, 1988's forceful self-titled debut and the forward-looking follow-up Margin...

Disregarding all the wordiness and adjectives that can be heaped like a pile of horse dung at Disneyland upon great, timeless albums, the importance of this record can...

Fugazi
7/13/2005, AMG
Fugazi's excellent first EP was initially released in 1988 on vinyl, and was later coupled with the following Margin Walker EP on CD as 13 Songs. Dischord continued to keep...

Margin Walker
7/13/2005, AMG
The equally excellent follow-up to the Fugazi EP was initially released in 1989 on vinyl, and was paired with its predecessor on CD shortly after its release during the same...

Repeater + 3 Songs
1/1/1990, LAUNCH, S.L. Duff
Fugazi's first full-length is a lean 'n' mean affair, the basic ingredients of punk rock stripped raw and excised with exacting authority. A fantastic, biting album which...

Repeater + 3 Songs
7/13/2005, AMG
With its righteous disdain for capitalism and the almighty dollar, Repeater's themes update Gang of Four's Solid Gold. Lines/slogans like "When I need something, I reach out...

Steady Diet Of Nothing
7/13/2005, AMG
From the opening swarms of "Exit Only," you can tell Steady Diet of Nothing will differ from Fugazi's earlier records. Repeater's excellence can't be denied, but the band...
