Although Fugazi is easily one of the most important Post Hardcore bands of note, they rarely promoted themselves. They were true DIY artists who were uncompromising with their craft regardless of whether they were in the studio, on stage, or in life in general. Their lyrics were cerebral and their music was a unique Punk sound with Funk and Reggae beats. Ironically, the very things that made them have such a rabid fan base are the very things that will likely keep them out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The sad thing is if any D.C. based Hardocre band should get a solid look from Cleveland it is Fugazi. Chances are, they won’t

Their songs were played loud, fast and crisp and each song was so short it was over before you knew it. Minor Threat’s career was bit like that too, as they were not around for very long. Like Bad Brains, they were an important fixture in the Washington D.C. Punk scene, but unlike other Punk acts, they were advocates of the “Straight Edge” lifestyle and are considered the first act to champion that. Although their run was limited, and their fan base was small, they actually had a bit of an impact.
