Luister ik naar KINK-FM komt Fugazi weer eens langs. Wat een geweldige band blijft dat toch.
Hun album 13 songs staat in mijn all time top tien. Superlatieven kom je dan te kort.
Meer fans ?

Fugazi is a rock music group from Washington, D.C., formed in 1987.
The band name alludes to a Vietnam-era GI slang backronym for a particularly bad combat situation, which translates as "Fucked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In". In Our Band Could Be Your Life, the group reported that they chose the name because of its ambiguous and vaguely exotic qualities.
Perhaps just as well known as Fugazi's music is their ethical stance and manner of business practice. They stand as a rare example of a band that have achieved a level of mainstream success while remaining loyal to independent recording and distribution values, following through in the spirit of the original "DIY punk ethic". They have rarely charged more than $5-10 admission to their live shows (and furthermore insist that their performances be open to persons of all ages; MacKaye in particular remembers the sting of being kept out of clubs during his teen years), have kept their album prices at about $10, and do not sell merchandise such as t-shirts or posters. In addition, the band has claimed that they will not conduct interviews with magazines featuring alcohol and nicotine advertisements.
All Fugazi's albums have been released by Dischord Records, co-owned by MacKaye and former Minor Threat bandmate Jeff Nelson.
