The band’s lineup also includes singer/guitarist Guy Picciotto, bass player Joe Lally, and drummer Brendan Canty. Throughout their musical career, MacKaye and Fugazi have maintained a resolutely anti-corporate, socially responsible stance. With his Minor Threat bandmate Jeff Nelson, MacKaye launched the independent record label Dischord, ensuring that Fugazi would control its recorded output, and that it would remain affordable to fans. The band won’t charge more than five dollars for concert tickets, and insists on playing only all-ages venues. These rigid policies and the political sympathies that birthed them have sometimes obscured Fugazi’s musical contributions, which is a shame. Over the course of a dozen years, the band has released seven albums, including the classic Repeater, and toured all over the world. In 1999, filmmaker Jem Cohen collected 11 years of Fugazi footage and released the documentary Instrument, with an accompanying soundtrack by the band. Fugazi has also mightily influenced a generation of indie-rockers, particularly those tagged “emo-core,” notable for their astringent guitar sounds, punk-rock energy, and dedication to the DIY ethic.     Fugazi Repeater MP3 Punk This seminal D.C. band of anti-rock stars embodies both the ethics and the sound of American punk. This song would be one of their smash hits -- if such a thing existed in the Fugazi universe.
