just picked up the "Instrument" dvd... my face has been melted off! You guys really need to check out some albums from this band or buy this DVD. PLEASE!

I have a couple of albums from them, but didn't even had the time to listen to them.
I got a hold of them because I thought they were some kind of hardcore, but they sound to me just like indie rock or so.... and I only listen to that kind of music once in a while....

I guess it all depends on what you consider "hardcore" is...

Alas, hardcore is not now what it was in the late 80s.

If you find yourself enjoying fugazi a lot and want more, I recomend checking out the three bands Guy Piccioto was in before Fugazi. Namely, Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, and Happy Go Licky. Of the three, Happy Go Licky is the most experemental and comes the closest to the fugazi sound (some of the songs are noticably similar to later fugazi songs). Rites of Spring is often sited as starting the whole 'emo' thing (though this band sounds nothing like the Get Up Kids, Jimmy, etc...). Anyway, I like Fugazi, and I really like these three releases too.

FUGAZI is one of the original punk bands that are actually really freakin awesome.


13, the argument are so good

 

[Riordan]

another great band in a similar vein (lyrically and musically)were/are the canadians

no means no

anyone liking fugazi has to have their albums as well... start with 'wrong' or 'small parts isolated and destroyed'.

I was listening to Repeater last night, a great album it is indeed, I especially like the title track.

I second the NoMeansNo reccomendation, although I disagree that they sound like Fugazi. To my ear nomeansno has a more jazzy, funky sound, maybe a bit more playful than Fugazi. Wrong is a great album, and at some point i'll probably pick up "why do they call me mr. happy?" per all music guide's reccomendation.

I remember listening to it on the Radio when it was 1st released, like 13? 14? years ago, we had a great college radio station, it's gone now

your comparison is more accurate than mine...
nomeansno are definitely more playful, less strident, but just as disciplined and dedicated. the musical similarities apply more to later fugazi, when they tended a little towards jazz/funk themselves (more pronounced bass and percussion, less guitar).
