It is this time of the week that we get political, high
pitched and super speedy fast. Today’s band though, need a more informative
piece on its achievements, not only amongst its peers, but in the whole wide
Rock world, than my ramblings that apart from not being an expert or a fan even,
I can’t help but admire this particular band and respect it as much I have,
classic icons of this genre…

So it is better to leave it
to the experts (wiki) to analyze today’s band influence and heritage. Today’s
band «is an American post-hardcore band
that formed in Washington, D.C. in 1987.
The band consists of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist
Joe Lally and
drummer Brendan Canty.
Fugazi are noted for their DIY ethical stance,
manner of business practice,[1] and
contempt towards the music industry.[2]
Fugazi have performed numerous
worldwide tours, produced six studio albums, a film and a comprehensive live
series, gaining the band critical acclaim and success around the world.[3] Fugazi
has been on indefinite hiatus since 2003.
Fugazi are primarily a post-hardcore band.[37] The band
has also been involved with playing indie rock,[38] art punk[39][40] and experimental rock.[41] Fugazi's
music was an intentional departure from that of the hardcore punk bands
the members had played in previously. Though clearly rooted in punk and
hardcore, there is arguably more than punk to be found in Fugazi's music.
Fugazi incorporated funk and reggae beats,
irregular stop-start song structures, and heavy riffs inspired by popular rock
bands such as Led Zeppelin and Queen, bands
that the punk
community of the time largely disdained.[42]
Picciotto became the group's second
guitarist when he realized MacKaye's typically chunky, low-end riffs and
Lally's dub-influenced
basslines allowed him to focus on high-pitched parts. In both vocal and guitar
roles, Picciotto assumed the role of a foil to
MacKaye; employing a Rickenbacker guitar
for its scratchy single-coil sound in order to "cut through MacKaye's
chunky chording like a laser beam."[10]
Picciotto's assumption of guitar duties allowed all four members of the band to
jam together and write songs that way, where previously they had played songs
largely as MacKaye had arranged them.[43] When writing
songs, the band often rearranges them with different structures and different
singers.[3] Spin Magazine has
listed MacKaye and Picciotto together at No. 86 on their list of The 100
Greatest Guitarists of All Time for their unique and interlocking guitar style
in Fugazi.[44]»
