- The Argument (2001) Recorded at Inner Ear by Don Zientara and the band in early 2001, The Argument could be the perfect Fugazi album. Everything that made the Washington DC four-piece great – urgent zig-zagging riffs, a compelling dub-led rhythm section, unmistakable vocal interplay and a willingness to weave disparate genres into their own template – all reach new heights on their sixth full-length.

Aug 8, 1991 · On their strenuous, taxing 1991 tour (adding up to a total of 112 live performances), Fugazi hit the state of Illinois two times, the first gig taking place in Champaign on June, 6 and the second concert being this appearance some two months later at the Vic Theatre in the city of Chicago.
Jan 31, 2013 · The albums are so consistently good, it seems pointless to engage in a debate of what the best Fugazi album is -- they're all great.
Aug 22, 2017 · Legendary post-hardcore outfit Fugazi is one of the most important, respected and influential bands of 20th century American underground. Playing a crucial role in the growth of the alternative music scene, its musical, political and social legacy can hardly be overstated.
