Welcome students old and new…Beginning today, and every Wednesday Thursday until the sun blazes the Earth, the staff shall pay homage to the most classic indie albums of all time. No countdowns, or top 100 lists, just a weekly gaze into the Music Emissions vault. Let the education begin…
Fugazi is a band from Washington, D.C. They have released seven albums and though on hiatus currently, they are widely considered to be pioneers of the DIY movement. Constantly pushing for concert pricing fairness, and punk rock ethics. Self managed, the band releases all their material through Ian MacKaye’s own Dischord Records.
Arguably their best record, and one of the best indie music album’s in history is Repeater. Have a gaze at Dennis Scanland’s review from March 0f 2003.
They are on hiatus right now, hopefully to return one day to blast out another classic indie album.
Fugazi (Fall 1987 – present)
Ian MacKaye – vocals, guitar (Minor Threat)
Guy Picciotto – vocals, guitar (Rites Of Spring)
Joe Lally – bass
Brendan Canty – drums (Rites Of Spring)

love this. great idea! got the album on now.
Awesome idea!!
Hey, solid idea you’ve got here. Are we taking submissions or do we have a bunch of classics already lined up to be published? I can think of a few…
Feel free. Note, these need to be queued up for a Thursday morning publish. And anythings game as long as there is a corresponding review to link to. Keep the regular column ideas coming. And if you happen to talk to an artist via interview or anything else, get their 5 artist recommendation for the Wednesday column.
Straight indie classic!!!
