| | Record Review (Detroit Metro Times) |
| | The soundtrack to Instrument is neither a live album nor a full-fledged new Fugazi album. | | | The album also brings the focus to the band members’ musicianship. | | | Fugazi marked its 10-year anniversary by playing a show at the same community center where the band debuted. |

| | Few have heard of the band or have listened to one of the band's songs on the radio, and even fewer have seen them in concert. | | | The track "Strangelight" finds the band dabbling with the piano and softer, more melodic songs. | | | The most amazing song is the title track "Argument," in which the band reliably provides its clear and epic guitar chords minus the sometimes ear-splitting vocals. |

| | Fugazi is at the musical epicenter of the D.C. underground punk scene. | | | Fugazi ended their 5th album with these lines, a somber, reflective song that mused over the tendency to get bogged down in life, to be brought to a physical and mental halt. | | | Over the course of their seven albums and 14-year history, their music and lyrics have evolved (as all great musicians do) to where the music no longer sounds like “conventional punk&;, and the lyrics are not your typical punk sloganeering. |

| | Fugazi's energetic shows became the stuff of legend, known for the level of emotional release and Picciotto's wild stage antics as much as the band's anti-moshing stance. | | | With scabous guitars and extended stretches of discordance, some of the songs were among the band's most aggressive and angular. | | | Toughening and refining the band's shockingly propulsive lockstep dynamics (see "Repeater" and "Styrofoam"), it still left several critics and a few fans wondering if the band was becoming a one-trick pony. |

| | Fugazi does not make any compromises, but somehow manages to release music that is refreshing with every new album. | | | Fugazi is more than a band; it's a way of life. | | | This band's playing is so tight that you can hear nothing but silence when they stop playing in the middle of a song (another staple). |

| | Splendid E-zine: Departments: Liveline: Fugazi |
| | An early song by Tsunami (a popular DC band in the nineties) made the proclamation that "punk" means "cuddle", not "asshole". | | | I learned from this Fugazi concert that it's their intense passion which will make their group, and not bands like Unrest, forever remembered in the official histories of DC music. | | | Fugazi's strength comes from the overpowering charisma of their arguable leader, Ian MacKaye, and from all the energy they put forth -- especially Brendan and Guy, who seemed so eager at times to smash his guitar like Pete Townshend -- as they perform their songs. |

| | Fugazi: The Argument: Pitchfork Review |
| | The galloping punk undertow of "Nightstop" supports what may be the best song here, and the band even makes room for a restlessly strummed acoustic guitar in the mix. | | | Fugazi have made a career out of crafting excellent albums, and with The Argument, they've made one of their best. | | | In fact, the band has fairly been living the American dream, becoming successful on their own terms without losing the rights to their music or creative direction. |

| | Fugazi Keep It "Real" at the Roxy (NY Rock Concert Review) |
| | A self-managed band, Fugazi have released seven albums through Dischord Records, an independent label founded by MacKaye and partner Jeff Nelson in 1980. | | | Both bands are ultra tight in concert, but Fugazi's sound is sharper than a box-cutter while the Dead's earthy jams had the tinsel strength of a hackey sack. | | | I find it quite a paradox that Fugazi retain such a stringent anti-moshing policy during their concerts because their power-punk anthems are custom designed to send you up into the air like a pogo-stick juiced up with "low-rider" hydraulics. |

| | Fugazi interview |
| | Fugazi's return to form in 2001 with their latest album The Argument (which received a 9/10 rating last issue) marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting time for post-hardcore and other punk-influenced music. | | | Though Fugazi channel influences of 80s hardcore punk, there has always been a somewhat avant-garde feel to their music, a yearning for progress. | | | Just look at Fugazi - a band that have produced consistently good music at an affordable price for years and years, and have remained religiously committed to their fans and scene by supporting younger bands and speaking out against the mainstream press. |

| | Fugazi has remained fairly true to their roots, although later albums reflect a more diverse sounds, approaching avant garde artists such as Brian Eno or Phillip Glass, or RIO (Rock in Opposition) bands like Henry Cow. | | | A band long known for their nonconformity, Fugazi charges low tickets prices and sells both their music and this video through their label so that they can control both the content and the price. | | | Although not a big fan of punk, I consider their album A Steady Diet of Nothing to be one of the most important releases of the early 1990s. |

| | Amardeep Singh: Fugazi's Resonance; Amherst's smallpox blankets |
| | Similarly, Fugazi's famous anti-rape song “Suggestion,” is a little unpolished, and it ends with an unfortunate choice of phrase: “We are all guilty.” But this song too uses dramatic pauses to draw the listener in before nailing (him) for his complicity. | | | Fugazi songs brought kids into sharp awareness of injustice: they were songs that could start causes. | | | I was never a cultist, but in my late teens I did turn to Fugazi for something to believe in, and was disappointed that in life Ian MacKaye refused to claim the prophetic role he assumed vocally in Fugazi's songs. |

| | Fugazi released their first album called Marillion in 1984. | | | FUGAZI is one of the few bands that possess this guitar sound, along with DRIVE LIKE JEHU (who were, by the way, one of the most original, powerful and intelligent bands around). | | | Fugazi ignore this album 'cos they think the music is too commercial and the cover is cartoonish (although not related to Bugs Bunny at all). |

| | The band moves from straight-up rock to artsy pop, sometimes in the same song. | | | Still, "The Argument" is Fugazi's most experimental album yet, excepting the soundtrack to the documentary on the band, "Instrument." It incorporates piano, cello and extra percussion into the standard bass/drums/guitars/vocals rock format. | | | In over 15 years as a band, Fugazi has never made a bad record and that includes this one. |

| | Fugazi: Fugazi Live Series, Vol. 1: September 3rd, 1987: Pitchfork Review |
| | And, exhibiting a unique sense of posterity, the band has opted to leave the raw recordings untreated-- all wrong notes, tape hiss, missed cues and microphone cutouts are fully intact. | | | Earlier this year, bassist Joe Lally began the Fugazi Live Series label to release the band's archived live recordings, which document every concert they've played for the past 17 years. | | | The answer lies in their albums, whose radical expansion of punk's defining characteristics confused as many punk purists as it enraptured, and their concerts, which underscored the unusual guitar tunings that sounded like ships crashing in the night and saw Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto barking as if just inches away from riot-cop mace-sprayers. |

| | Fugazi is the culmination of two incredible guitarists/vocalists/songwriters who made some amazing hardcore with their original bands in Minor Threat and Rites of Spring, but their powers had fully come into their own by the time they formed Fugazi, and the result is amazing. | | | Influenced by reggae, Fugazi crafted an entirely new style that was imitated by EVERY guitar band in the 90s. | | | They are known as the epitome of a band that will not sell out. |

I can't imagine that a single member of this band has lost interest in playing music with the other three. | | | I never got to see Fugazi play because I was too stupid then to realize they were the best band that ever existed. | | | I listened to it, listened to Last Chance for a Slow Dance on repeat for a few months, but I forgot about them. |

| | Guy Picciotto - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links |
| | Like Minor Threat and Rites of Spring before it, Fugazi instantly became one of underground rock's most respected and influential outfits, especially on the strength of such classic releases as 1990's 13 Songs, 1990's Repeater, and 1993's In on the Killtaker. | | | Additionally, Picciotto has found the time to work with other bands -- lending a hand in either producing, engineering, or mixing albums by such bands as Blonde Redhead, Chisel, Make Up, and Quix*o*tic, and has also made super 8 movies (Silly Game, Please Cry, etc.). | | | Born in D.C. on September 17, 1965, it was a local Cramps show in 1979 that inspired Picciotto to get involved in the punk scene (strangely enough, MacKaye was at the same show and also lists it as a life-changing event), while further Clash and Bad Brains gigs convinced him to form his own band. |
