Fugazi to release its first-ever demo recording this winter

In 2003, Fugazi, Washington D.C.’s beloved post-hardcore institution, went on hiatus, and though it’s not so much as hinted at any sort of reunion, the band has since worked to document its time together in the most exhaustive of ways. In 2011, Dischord—the label headed up by Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye—launched the Fugazi Live Series, a digital archive of every show Fugazi ever played with downloadable audio for $5, the band’s preferred price point. With the first batch of uploads to the Live Series due to be completed this winter, Dischord is readying to dole out one more rarity for fans: the release of Fugazi’s first demo, recorded in 1988.
