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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book features new interviews with all four members of Fugazi and members of their creative community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-15\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003eForeword \u003ci\u003eRob Sheffield\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eA Brief History of Four Musicians\u003cbr\u003eInterlude: A Comment on Ritual, or How Fugazi Wrote Songs\u003cbr\u003e\"Steady Diet of No Reverb\"\u003cbr\u003eThe Albino Demo\u003cbr\u003e\"Facet Squared\"\u003cbr\u003e“Public Witness Program\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Returning the Screw\"\u003cbr\u003eInterlude: The Sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\"Smallpox Champion\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Rend It\"\u003cbr\u003e\"23 Beats Off\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Sweet and Low\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Cassavetes\"\u003cbr\u003eInterlude: Punk vs. the Pop Charts\u003cbr\u003e\"Great Cop\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Walken's Syndrome\"\u003cbr\u003eTwo Finales\u003cbr\u003eInterlude: Live\u003cbr\u003eAfterword\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: May 19 2018\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 184\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781501321399\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55857282711874,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9781501321405.jpg?v=1786216874","url":"https:\/\/steadfastrecords.com\/products\/fugazis-in-on-the-kill-taker-33-1-3-series-joe-gross-softcover-book","provider":"Steadfast Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
