Fugazi – Repeater

Fugazi is an American rock band that formed in Washington, D.C. in 1986. The band consists of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally, and drummer Brendan Canty. It is noted for its style-transcending music, DIY ethical stance, manner of business practice, and contempt for the music industry. Fugazi’s music and ethics have been immensely influential on punk and alternative music throughout the years, and has earned the band praise from many notable musicians as well. Their style has been described as post-hardcore, art punk, alternative rock, and experimental rock. Repeater is their full-length debut studio album, released on April 19, 1990. It and is often regarded as a definitive album for the band and a landmark of rock music, noted for its complex interplay of guitar and rhythm section. Repeater featured an alternative rock sound that predated significant releases such as Nirvana’s “Nevermind” and Pearl Jam’s “Ten”, which would unexpectedly go on to break the genre into the mainstream.
