Dischord Records have share track from Fugazi – First Demo release

October 27, 2014

Dischord are to officially release Fugazi demo session and are currently streaming a previously unreleased demo version of their song “Merchandise” which you can listen to here and find out the story behind the demo

In early January 1988 and after only ten shows, Fugazi decided to go into Inner Ear Studio to see what their music sounded like on tape. The sessions only lasted a couple of days, but tour dates and indecision about the tape would delay the final mix for another two months. Though the band was at first pleased with the results, it soon became clear that this tape would remain a demo as new songs were being written and the older songs were evolving and changing shape while the band was out on tour. It was decided that the session would be passed out free as cassette copies, with the band actively encouraging people to share the recording. In the spring, Fugazi went out on its first U.S. tour and a few weeks after returning from the road they went back to Inner Ear to record what would become their debut Dischord release, the self-titled 7-song 12″ EP.

The release is out the 18th of November and pre-orders are up now.
