 (6 Customer Reviews)
13 SONGS combines the eponymous EP and the MARGIN WALKER mini-LP on one CD.
Combining the band's first two EPs, Fugazi's 13 SONGS is nothing less than a landmark hardcore album. From the unmistakable opening bass line of "Waiting Room" to the cathartic finale of "Promises," the record is DIY post-punk at its finest. And though the quartet would become known for its anti-corporate/consumerism stance, 13 SONGS is all about unapologetically intense music.
Founded by ex-Minor Threat and Embrace frontman Ian MacKaye, Joe Lally, Guy Picciotto and Brendan Canty (the latter two from Rites of Spring), Fugazi had a remarkably fully formed sound on this set of songs, with alternately fierce and chiming guitars exploding over fluid bass grooves and tight, propulsive rhythms. Already a revered figure on the Washington D.C. hardcore scene at the time of this 1989 release, MacKaye opted to share lyric, vocal, and guitar duties with Picciotto, giving the group an even greater sense of dynamics. "Bad Mouth" boasts an almost ska-like vibe, and "Margin Walker" is angular aggro-rock, while "Provisional" carries elements of atmospheric pop. True, the roots of emo-rock are present, but as Fugazi proves here, they are a band whose music transcends labels.Spin (5/01, p.110) - Ranked #33 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...Modernized hardcore overnight....Earnestly explosive."
Alternative Press (3/02, p.96) - Included in AP's "Essential Punk Influences '02 Style" - "...This is the album that first showed a million lesser-known bands it was possible to make it on your own terms..."
New York Times (Publisher) (3/7/91) - "Fugazi has broken free of hard-core's conventions...the music is all muscle and bone; songs riff, blare, riff, pause and crunch, then stop dead, as terse and Apollonian as a string quartet."

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 ...

Growing up in Brooklyn with one ear permanently glued to the radio, a multi-instrumental education, a four-part-harmony-in-the-car family, notebooks full of poetry, and a voracious curiosity for the inner workings of music from the Beatles to Tom Waits, Jimmy Reed to John Coltrane, Led Zeppelin to Dvorak to The Smiths, Kris Delmhorst was a songwriter waiting to happen. As it turned out, there was a while to wait, as her path wound through a studio art degree, a time living and working on a remote homestead farm in Maine, a journey by thumb around Ireland learning the fiddle from various old-timers, a turn on the crew of a seagoing schooner, and a stint teaching an outdoor program to 5th graders on Cape Cod before the right combination of skills and experience suddenly led to the appearance of the first song in Delmhorst's own voice. That beginning effort has since evolved into a body of work that reflects the wide-ranging travels of an inquisitive artist, songs with pavement under their feet or dirt under their fingernails, or sometimes out of sight of land altogether. Delmhorst's third CD "Songs for a Hurricane," set to be released in August 2003 on Signature Sounds, is the latest stride in a career she's built in classic Do-It-Yourself fashion, touring the country incessantly and releasing her music independently. And clearly she's doing something right, having sold 25,000 copies of her first two discs, "Appetite" and "Five Stories", on the strength of strong performances and word-of-mouth alone. She's toured the USA and Europe with Dar Williams, Chris Smither, Catie Curtis, and Mary Gauthier. Along the way she's garnered six Boston Music Award nominations, first place in the 2001 Telluride Troubadour Songwriter Competition, and inclusion in a stack of DJ top ten lists from coast to coast.Between tours, the well-worn suitcase gets unpacked in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Delmhorst has found her musical home in the vibrant Boston music community. The multi-faceted musician thrives on the range of opportunities to recombine and re-inspire; performing and recording as a side player on cello, fiddle, and voice, creating bands and side projects, and serving on the production team for two editions of "Respond," award-winning compilations funding work to stop domestic violence. Now Delmhorst readies "Songs For A Hurricane," produced with Morphine's Billy Conway at his Hi-n-Dry Studio in Cambridge. This time around, the team chose to trim back the range of instruments and let the songs stand up for themselves without losing the rich sonic textures of "Five Stories," ...
