Fugazi's 1988 first demo is a must - have for music fans. Recorded at Inner Ear Studio in producer Don Zientara's suburban basement, these 11 tracks show the band's early energy. There are minor flaws, but Fugazi powers through. They distributed cassette copies at shows, and fans traded them. Early versions of hits like 'Waiting Room' and 'Merchandise' were recorded here. 'First Demo' offers a peek into the band's early days, with rough takes of songs that later got refined. Fugazi was clearly a powerful band from the start. This vinyl LP comes with a free download and is from Dischord Records 2014. Reviewed by Hank Ohs in 12/2014.
