About Fugazi

Fugazi brought together Ian MacKaye, formerly of Minor Threat, and Guy Picciotto of Rites of Spring, with Joe Lally on bass and Brendan Canty on drums. Lally's melodic, reggae-informed basslines gave the band much of its spring, while the two guitarists traded jagged, interlocking parts and shouted vocals. Albums such as 'Repeater', 'In on the Kill Taker' and 'Red Medicine' made them central to post-hardcore.

They went on indefinite hiatus after 'The Argument' in 2001. Hundreds of their soundboard recordings have since been made available through the Fugazi Live Series, and Jem Cohen's documentary 'Instrument' follows the band across its first decade.
