FIRST REACTION to Fugazi - 13 Songs Reaction/Review 

Dude you gotta explore their whole discography chronologically; (Steady Diet and End Hits are a little weaker, but) every album is incredible and it's awesome to see their evolution. Especially when it all culminates on The Argument...god damn

Ian MacKaye (guitars and vocals) was from Minor Threat, one of the most seminal hardcore bands ever; Guy Picciotto (vocals and later on guitar) and Brendan Canty (drums) were from Rites of Spring, one of the first and most influential emocore bands, although not accepted by the band, and Joe Lally (bass) was from Dag Nasty, another influential emocore/ hardcore bands. DC was a melting pot for punk in the late 70s and early 80s, and literally every popular 90s alt band you’ve heard of was influenced heavily by Fugazi, from RHCP to Nirvana, Deftones, Bad Religion, etc. Their music is immaculate and every one of their albums are amazing, definitely keep on listening to them.

Thanks for an enjoyable and thoughtful review of this classic album. Our band, Noise Floor, played a show with Fugazi in 1989, and I saw them live another 3 times. Some of the most positive energy I've experienced. They were really great to us at the time. All their shows were $5, all ages, and no merch.... Everyone went to be rocked.

Welcome to post-hardcore world,my dude

The most important band of all time. Saw them live 10 times. Greatest live band in the world.

You should also listen to any of these!! -Music has the right to children -Veteran -Girl with basket of fruit -Cavalcade -You won't get what you want -Come in -For the first time

Fugazi are a brilliant band who have such an amazing progression to their sound over their albums. You're in for a treat as for me 13 songs isn't their best album by far! We could all learn a thing or two from these guys too

Your point at 18:10 is why I love Fugazi. You hear something new every time you listen. Focusing on any one of the four instrumentalist's can blow your mind with how talented they were.

You can't go wrong with Fugazi. They give goosebumps.

the jesus lizard influenced a lot of post hardcore bands you should listen to their album goat

Congrats! Welcome to one of the most rewarding rabbit holes in existence and one of the greatest bands of the last 30+ years, period. You'll be listening to their albums for years. And their later albums are arguably even better than their earlier ones.

You're hearing so many bands influenced by Fugazi because they're the Beatles of punk rock. It's so cool to see someone amazed by these songs in 2021. Nothing sounded like them then and nothing sounds like them now.

you should listen to car seat headrest's "twin fantasy" (2018) i think you'd love it tons!

Fugazi are amazing the whole discord legacy is fantastic too, in a similar independent vein I think you would really dig the wonderful and absurdly beautiful world of Cardiacs run by the similarly visionary Tim Smith, if anything even more chaotic band

The importance of this band is lost on your generation. In the late 80s, there was no punk revival, all the old school bands had transformed (see Black Flag or the Damned) or broken up . Punk/hardcore had no clear direction. THEN THIS CAME OUT! It changed EVERYTHING

In On the Killtaker is my favorite album by them

If you want something that will absolutely blow your mind, check out The Dillinger Escape Plan's Calculating Infinity. Math-y metallic punk with insane vocal performances.

Hoover's The Lurid Traversal of Route 7 is also a fantastic album on the Dischord label that's worth checking out, might even prefer them over Fugazi myself personally..

Fugazi is and always will be one of my favorite bands, and I would not mind if u react to the rest of their discography jej

Ha, speaking of Deftones, Waiting Room is on Deftones influences playlist on apple music and it’s how I discovered Fugazi years ago

Dave Grohl wasn’t in fugazi but he was part of the same DC punk scene in the mid/late 80s and was influenced by them.

The reason you're hearing so many bands influenced by Fugazi is because SO MANY bands were influenced by Fugazi.

Unwound next pls

Dude you should react to the new Black Midi album Cavalcade, if you liked the first album I think you're going to like this one too :)

SWEET!!! Also if you've haven't heard of The Dartmoors yet you should check them out

1 of a multitude of grand albums by Fugazi! A side project that is worth listening to imo is the Pail Head - Trait ep featuring Ian MacKaye singing with the band Ministry. It's from 1988 and a great combination of Ministry's driving industrial guitar/drum pacing with Ian's anthemic vocals (there's a song called Anthem on the ep even).

There is an unbelievably important band to rock music, Minor Threat, and another really important band, Rites of Spring, that the two vocalist came from. One is a major hardcore band, which coined the term straight edge, and the other is considered one of the first “emo” bands, respectively

I most certainly enjoyed your reaction video, watched the whole thing. Who cares how you pronounce the name. What remains most curious to me is what is your music world like since this first Fugazi listen (June 2021)? Fugazi has been in my life since 1989. It's only been in yours since June. It's been 30 years for me since I was able to feel Fugazi as a new sound. I envy you. That feeling of Fugazi as a new sound only happens briefly in any one person's lifetime. Enjoy this moment.

Suggestion and Promises are two incredible songs.

You should react to Hella. It has Zach Hill from Death Grips on drums

You should check out The Dartmoor’s! I know you’ll love them!

Dark Ska .. that cracks me up nice one

Very nice!!

Listen to deceit - this heat, it will blow your mind 👍

I’ve always wanted to like this band and album more than I do, but Waiting Room and Promises rule.

OHHHHHH, REACT ANOTHER FUGAZI ALBUM, THEIR HAVE A REALLY GOOD DISCOGRAPHY.

Oh sweet summer child.

Fun fact: the entire bass line in "Provisional" is played with two notes: E and A. A whole E note, then two A eighth notes. All the way through.

really good review man excellent

You should review the albums definitely maybe and (what’s the story) morning glory by Oasis. Two of the best 90s alt rock albums

You should react to the rest of their discog. Red medicine and the argument are my favorites.

You should consider reacting to The Argument, Fugazi's last album. See how they transformed.

This album influenced soooooo many bands. You would be hard hard pressed to find find anyone in punk who would not cite fugazi as an influence.

I would suggest the song "Cult of Dionysus" by The Orion Experience.

I think what you’re calling tri-tones are actually octave chords. It’s a type of chord shape that sits above or below the usual guitar notes that adds a style of dissonance. Fugazi popularized it and then it became very popular in 90s post-hardcore bands and later emo bands.

I don't know if you still take recommendations for song reactions, but if you do I would suggest listening to "Alternative Facts by Mush", or "Pest Control by Radioactive Chicken Heads". 👍

If you want more basslines, fIREHOSE are a huge recommendation.

react to Helmet - Strap it on

you have to listen to their album “the argument”. it is by far their best record

This this band was great instrumentally, vocally and in my opinion inadvertently spawned the emo sect of punk.

Plz react to their final masterpiece, The Argument

Is that a pinty poster in the back on the left?

Could you do another manic street preachers album reaction please

lol all the bands he mentions were influenced by Fugazi. Kurt Cobain had fugazi marketed on his sneakers

Tony PLEASE check out For The First Time by Black Country, New Road. insane mix of Klezmer, post punk, and pop sensibilities that’s currently my album of the year

can u react to as good as dead by local h love the vids dude keep up the good work👍

This is more of a first impression than a review. You don’t get the chance to absorb the words. But Fugazi is rad

Everyone ripped off fugazi

Repeater...please.
