Fugazi's debut full - length LP, 'Repeater,' is a must - have for music lovers. In 1988, during their US and Europe tours, they released their self - titled debut EP, followed by the 'Margin Walker' EP in 1989. After a touring break, they entered the studio. Singer Guy Picciotto started playing guitar, and songwriting shifted. Instead of songs solely by Ian MacKaye, the band jammed out ideas. The result, 'Repeater,' is a definitive album. It moved from early dub influences to a harder, more aggressive sound. The album explores themes like greed, violence, and more, with its title referencing the gun violence in Washington, DC at that time. Check out tracks such as 'Repeater,' 'Merchandise,' 'Blueprint,' 'Greed,' and 'Styrofoam.' This is a black vinyl pressing, comes with a printed insert, was originally released in 1990, and is from the Dischord Records label (2009). Reviewed by Hank Ohs in 08/2014.
