	Record Review (Detroit Metro Times) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Hailed and revered for its independence, ideals and integrity, Fugazi’s influence can be found throughout the DIY movement that the band helped build and continues to inspire.
		After 10 years, Fugazi continues to progress and change, experimenting with and expanding its sound and upping the emotion, energy and musicianship to a point where the band remains as relevant and as fresh as when it began.
		Fugazi marked its 10-year anniversary by playing a show at the same community center where the band debuted.

		Fugazi has grown in many directions, and the band has also aged well, evolving into one of the most emulated bands in rock.
		As the band has aged, the periods of what may be seen by outsiders as periods of inactivity have become more frequent and lengthy.
		When asked about Fugazi's ability to continue on and break new ground, MacKaye insists that they are still in their element, that he felt the continuous building of momentum over the past decade was still forging ahead "the last time we played together, [on] August 13, 2001".

		Fugazi's first tour in four(?) years was something not to be missed and a near sell out crowd were packing out the MDH.
		It is in the interests of the media to perpetuate the image of Fugazi as dour, steadfast hardcore godfathers, making their favourite hobby of pigeon-holing bands and delivering them to the masses all the easier.
		Fugazi start things off in unconventional (what else?) fashion with Ian Mackaye asking if everyone can see and explaining that they have chosen not to have barriers at the front of the stage so everyone had better behave themselves.

	Fugazi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The band members remember what it's like to be too young and too broke to go to concerts, and they don't want anyone to miss out.
		Fugazi (named for the Vietnam War-era shorthand phrase "[expletive] Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In") is perhaps better known for their politics rather than their music.
		Fugazi's latest album, End Hits, a collection of 13 songs recorded between tours in 1997, was released in the spring of 1998.

	Fugazi (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fugazi is a rock band from Washington, D.C., formed in 1987.
		Fugazi's early tours earned them a strong word-of-mouth reputation, both for their powerful performances, and for their eagerness to play unusual venues.
		Fugazi's music blends elements of punk rock, hardcore, soul and noise with an inventively syncopated rhythm section often steeped in dub or reggae influence.

	Fugazi Keep It "Real" at the Roxy (NY Rock Concert Review) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Fugazi's gig at the Roxy December 1999 gave further proof of this and though I've seen them a half-dozen times before, something about this show made me realize just how awesome a live band they are.
		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.
		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.

	Alligator Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		However stunning a live band Fugazi may be, the Washington, D.C. band's seven records, to date, serve up just as much intensity and ingenuity as their concerts exude.
		Fugazi's first full-length, Repeater soon became the landmark album of the pre-Quicksand/modern-emo '90s, setting the stage for all the shameless derivation to follow.
		By this point, the band's lyrics were abstracted to the point where their sociopolitical agenda was virtually undetectable; for most critics, the record was bliss - for many fans, the sound of exhaustion.

	Band Chat - Fugazi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Fugazi is more than a band; it's a way of life.
		This is due to the fact that Fugazi runs their own record label (Dischord Records), sells music directly to you at a cheap price ($8 a CD), charges very little for their concerts (around $5), does not license their name to any merchandise, and refuses to do any advertising.
		Fugazi does not make any compromises, but somehow manages to release music that is refreshing with every new album.

		Fugazi is a piece of vietnamese slang (from the era of the vietnam-america war) meaning a "messed up" situation
		The bands first LP is claimed by many to be their best and a corker it is too.
		The band is also against Moshing, many take this stance to be anti-fun but it is in fact an effort to prevent violence and the strong getting the best places at a gig by brute force.

	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".
		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.
		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.

	Amardeep Singh: Fugazi's Resonance; Amherst's smallpox blankets
		Fugazi shows were, aside from everything else, experiences of being in an unpredictable, wild, crowd, intoxicated by the power to reject the external authority.
		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 finds it a suitable allegory for the Trojan horse of colonialism in general, and the band directs their rage at Amherst, and America:

	Fugazi: The Argument: Pitchfork Record Review
		Of course, one primary obstacle to a public memorial for the members of Fugazi is the band's collective politics which, while moralistic and anti-corporate, are hardly anti-capitalist as many have claimed.
		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 have made a career out of crafting excellent albums, and with The Argument, they've made one of their best.

	InterZone - Review - Fugazi
		When asked what Fugazi is or is about, Ian MacKaye replyed, “Fugazi is about being a band.” While politics has become something important in the culture of music, and certainly in the lives of the members of Fugazi, their music has never been overtly political or preachy.
		You hear the band’s view on the punk “scene” over the past few years, benefits they’ve done over the past (such as protests against Desert Storm), their feelings about major labels, and most of all their feelings about playing to their fans.
		There is also some footage of the band stopping the show to break up fights and to kick out abusive fans.

		Needless to say Ian soon became a full-time member of the band, the main reason we were keen to make him a member is so his wages would be brought in line with the rest of us.
		The band spent hours in taxis throughout the night commuting between studios listening to mixes of a project that was becoming out of hand.
		‘Fugazi', the title track was inspired by a journey on the Piccadilly line from Earls Court where I lived in a flat for a while with my girlfriend, to the Marquee Club where I lived during the night.

		The band's sound has obviously sprung from entirely different roots than anything in the States, combining pummeling, atonal blasts of noise with odd, syncopated dance rhythms, and abstract interludes of quiet feedback and guitar clank.
		Fugazi took this intensity and energy to an even higher level, thrashing their guitars and singing with a furious abandon that was awesome to behold.
		Fugazi proved itself one of the most vital, skilled bands in the rock scene with its four-encore, almost two-hour performance.

		The band wrote songs like "I Like Milk," which was both a self-deprecating joke and a reference to being straight.
		Our bands are free to leave at any time should they feel that we haven't done enough for them.
		In the unlikely event that a record goes 'Gold' or 'Silver' than everyone can bask in their winnings (and you can be sure the label is doing a lot more basking than the bands are), but most bands are coming home empty handed in the long run.
