With two EPs (combined into the classic CD \u003ci\u003e13 songs\u003c\/i\u003e) and two albums (1990's genre-defining \u003ci\u003eRepeater\u003c\/i\u003e and 1991's impressionistic follow-up \u003ci\u003eSteady Diet of Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e) inside of five years, Fugazi was on creative roll, astounding increasingly large audiences as they toured, blasting fist-pumping anthems and jammy noise-workouts that roared into every open underground heart. When the album debuted on the now-SoundScan-driven charts, Fugazi had never been more in the public eye. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFew knew how difficult it had been to make this popular breakthrough. Disappointed with the sound of the self-produced \u003ci\u003eSteady Diet\u003c\/i\u003e, the band recorded with legendary engineer Steve Albini, only to scrap the sessions and record at home in D.C. with Ted Niceley, their brilliant, under-known producer. Inadvertently, Fugazi chose an unsure moment to make \u003ci\u003eIn on the Kill Taker\u003c\/i\u003e: as Nirvana and Sonic Youth were yanking the American rock underground into the media glare, and \"breaking\" punk in every possible meaning of the word. Despite all of this, \u003ci\u003eKill Taker\u003c\/i\u003e became an alt-rock classic in spite of itself, even as its defiant, muscular sound stood in stark contrast to everything represented by the mainstreaming of a culture and worldview they held dear. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book features new interviews with all four members of Fugazi and members of their creative community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2999812\"\u003eJoe Gross\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 4.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501321399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501321390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MUS\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MUS020000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Criticism | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MUS\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MUS030000\"\u003eGenres \u0026amp; Styles | Punk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoe Gross \u003c\/b\u003ehas written for \u003ci\u003eSpin, Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eCity Paper, Radio On\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.
