50 years of Tunes - 1990 - Fugazi "Repeater"

I don't suppose many people discovered the Washington D.C. based hardcore band due to them sharing a name with Marillion's second album.

At some point in the 90s I saw an ITV documentary on Fugazi which was excellent. I was intrigued by the DIY ethic and their straight-edge lifestyle but the music seemed a bit too scary for me at the time (I wasn't long out of REO Speedwagon compilations).

True to form it took me a long time to really investigate, but when I finally dipped my toe in I fell, head over heals in love.

Not. One. Duff. Album. Repeater is probably my favourite but they're all amazing.
