Well, the Clash just went, but Fugazi have managed to escape the pitfalls that befell their predecessors. In fact, the Washington D.C. band formed by Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye and Insurrection's Guy Piccotto may well have become the world's most reliable source of no-sellout noise-pop. 13 Songs brings together the two 1989 EPs that first introduced the group's unique hybrid of hardcore, funk, and art-rock.

"Also from the same friend I first heard Fugazi. They fit in with the punk I'd been listening to, but their lyrics were more positive at times. What impressed me the most was their DIY way of doing business. They owned the record label their albums were released on, they charged a flat rate for their CDs, and they only charged $5 a ticket when they played shows.
Fugazi taught me that bands can exist and survive outside the major-label world, and their music grew more interesting as time went on"
