Morning. I have written at length about FUGAZI, the band that kept getting better and then left us in the lurch. How could they ever return? Won’t they? Or can’t they? @thequietus.com @dischord.bsky.social thequietus.com/interviews/s...

Fugazi were the (post-) hardcore/ punk/ rock band that got better with every release. Here are ten entry points into their back catalogue

Legendary Birmingham band whose sound dances around the electronic and the analog, employs unconventional instruments and draws on krautrock, exotica and dub.
Their first time in the East Midlands since the 90s - not to be missed.
