Description:

Fugazi: Brendan Canty, Joe Lally, Ian MacKaye, Guy Picciotto.
REPEATER originally released on Dischord (44). 3 SONGS originally released on Dischord (43).
Personnel: Guy Picciotto, Ian MacKaye (vocals, guitar); Brendan Canty (drums).
For Fugazi`s second full-length release, the band unleashed a fierce set that expanded on the strongest elements of 13 SONGS. The ominous, slowly building opener, "Turnover," gets things off to a guitar-heavy start, and other thrillingly aggressive tunes include the groove-laden title track and the punky, lurching "Break-In." This restless energy carries over into Fugazi`s lyrics, as sung by co-frontmen Ian MacKaye and/or Guy Piccotto, which hit with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, as exemplified on "Merchandise" ("You are not what you own") and "Greed" ("You wanted everything/You needed everything"). This is where the quartet solidified its well-documented anti-establishment reputation.
REPEATER is also notable for its two instrumentals--the highly rhythmic "Brendan #1" (named after drummer Brendan Canty) and the almost jazzy "Joe #1" (named after bassist Joe Lally). Based on these excellent tracks, it`s no surprise that subsequent Fugazi albums consistently featured an instrumental or two, with each one showcasing the group`s remarkable sense of unity, melody, and invention.
