Fugazi is an American punk rock band that formed in Washington, D.C. in 1987. The band consists of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally, and drummer Brendan Canty. Known for their DIY ethic, unique business practices, and disdain for the music industry, Fugazi has left a lasting impact on the punk rock scene. Despite being on an indefinite break since 2003, their influential legacy continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

Fugazi are as notable for their 'political music for the common man' approach as for the stop-start riffing that made their guitars-and-gestalt-therapy sound into an industry buzz. Their 1995 album, 'Red Medicine' reasserts the band's grasp on alterna-angst and charging guitars - enough so to make your jaws lock. Yet, 'Red Medicine' isn't just another exercise in Fugazi-style political manifestos; on it, Fugazi come across more as musicians than politicians. The yelping "I Have Something to Prove" tone of previous releases has relaxed into a more confident approach. The dueling guitars are looser, more melodic. The riffs and vocals don't bark and grate as much - they simmer and, in some cases, even swing. Songs like 'Birthday Party' may still rely on the old-school Fugazi approach - the proven shout and power-chord stomp - but 'Forensic Scene' sounds almost Beatlesque in its lovely hesitance. Regardless of that evolution, 'Red Medicine' still includes all the things that made 'Repeater'-era Fugazi so inspiring, their standard ringing guitars and shouted vocals glaring through the mix. 'Red Medicine' also shows a new-found eloquence, a quieter approach for their songwriting craft, and previously unseen musicianship.
