FUGAZI - THE PEEL SESSIONS (DEC 11, 1988)


If you ever listened to punk or hardcore, I'm sure you've heard of Fugazi. Fugazi was a post-hardcore band that formed in Washington, D.C. in 1987. The band's continual members were guitarists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto (who both shared vocal duties), bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty. Ian came from the legendary Minor Threat as well as the less known Embrace (my personal favorite DC band), while Guy came from Rites of Spring who probably spearheaded the "Emo" genre.
Check out the long lost "Peel Sessions" from 1988 recorded live with super producer John Peel (who died in 2004). You can listen to the four tracks from the session here.
