➡️ You guys are completely steering my “better late than never” discovery of punk rock, and FUGAZI has been declared a must-listen artist judging by the comments. “Waiting Room” from their album “13 Songs” was unanimously requested, and I enjoyed getting a taste of what I THINK is more “traditional” punk - full of raw simplicity, attitude, and extremely expressive vocals. My favorite recurring theme in this genre is how the bass lines are perfectly front and center, and completely define the song. I discuss the catchy, picked-bass groove, the dissonance it creates rubbing against the guitar riff, and how the two in tandem offer a slightly unsettling feeling as the song slowly intensifies. I was intrigued by the vocals being the most intense song element, along with the PHAT half-time feel in the chorus 🥵🤘🏼

Ian Mackaye is one of the most important people in all of punk history. He's worth learning about.
I disagree.
@@greg0uk Hehe ... okay. That's an odd stance.
@@Scoots1994 thanks.
@@greg0uk You are welcome
You are winning 36-0 in this thumbs up battle. Ian is a legend.
Mike Watt is a punk rock legend that is more than worthy of a listen. The Minutemen were the oddballs on SST and pushed punk rock in their own direction.
this
I just had Mike on my podcast
Mike watt all day... Big train
fIREHOSE - chemical wire
“The man in the van with the bass in his hand.” Watt is THE punk rock bassist. A musician’s musician. I can’t even begin to think of just one track to analyze.
Fugazi is most often categorized as "post-hardcore" as Ian and other band members came from more traditional hardcore punk bands and really created something completely new. They were experimenting with time signatures and much more in innovative ways. I had the pleasure of catching a couple of their shows in the early 90's.
Fugazi are legends. I only got to see them once in 1998 outdoors at Fort Reno Park in DC.
Wish I had gotten to see Nation of Ulysses play live, but I only started going to shows in 1994 in my mid teens.
Back then, we called it Emo (before Emo was a thing, 15 or so years later).
Yeah, they do not fit within the punk genre that took over in the 90s and 2000s. Fugazi is just a really unique band with their roots from Minor Threat and the early 80s hardcore scene, but really created their own style. Fugazi is probably my favorite band. The documentary they did was fantastic as well.
@@liberatoreZthis is not emo at all
@@usualdosage7287I just said, what people/press referred to them back then.
The cool thing about this song is that Ian MacKaye was already a punk legend from his time in Minor Threat. This song was written about his frustration with getting older and being left behind by the scene he was so much defined by. Literally "I don't want to wait for death; I have more to give if you will let me."
I jumped out of my chair when I saw this! It is the most recognized bass intro to me of all time! Fantastic album!
Same!
Same!
I have to go for a skate now .
At the age of 53 now, stage diving to this is one of the highlights of my gig-going younger days.
Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come
Crunchy ass bass tones, tons of jazz influence, and catchy bass riffs
If you want to know how influential that song and that record was, look at the legacy chapter on Wikipedia. It's longer than many whole entries
@anofsti I think that record is pretty overhyped, it's use of electronics and sampling was pretty innovative within the context of their peers and New Noise is a 10/10 crossover banger which is really the reason for all the hype and had me flipping in my lounge when it opened The Bear tv series!
I really love the sort of twangy hardcore they were doing on Songs To Fan The Flames of Discontent.
Coup d'Etat is a 20/10 banger for me.
Yes yes yes! New Noise (although it's dominated by the guitar riff)
They called their shot with that record. It was super influential. Their earlier albums were just really good Victory Records-style hardcore. And yeah, Coup d'Etat is bad af. Hook, Line, and Sinker. too@@uosdwis-r-dewoh14
You've gotta cover Bad Brains "Banned in DC" sometime soon! Darryl Jenifer is an absolute legend in American Hardcore/Punk bass playing and helped set the standard for the genre for decades to come.
FVK!
Bad Brains man. Fuck yeah.
Great shout to Darryl Jennifer, my personal favorite punk bass player.
i highly recommend anything you check out from Bad Brains be from their first demo recording 'Black Dots'. i believe its the purest document of their ferocity. ✌️
Hell yeah.
Over all of their albums, the rhythm section of Joe Lally and Brendan Canty (drummer) were outstanding.
Still killing it in Messthetics
Now Fugazi!?! It is super cool watching your reaction and seeing you discovering punk rock. It is even cooler having someone with so much musical knowledge dive into analyzing all of these songs/bands that hold a dear place in my heart. We are all loving your channel and I hope these videos help your channel blow up!!
Thank you always for the nice words, appreciate you watching! Truly. I’m just enjoying following where the requests keeping telling me to go! 🙏🏼
Hedro! haha
@@sugarcell4580What's up dude!!??!!
Fugazi really progressed on their instruments throughout their career. Every album they got better and better with lots of jazz elements with crazy chords and interplay. They didn't make any bad albums.
Red Medicine ❤
The guitar part sounds 'different', because a) the bass comes from a higher f# to a lower c# while the guitar comes from a lower f# to a higher c#. And b) the C# fifth chord gets inverted. Which adds a g# as kind of a fake root note. Thus giving us an overall Ab7sus-chord. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
Joe Lally is a great player. I've been blown away at how Fugazi manages to be funky so pissed at the same time.
I saw a ton of big bands in the 90s. Fugazi was the best of them.
NoMeansNo. Check out their album “Wrong.” Super bass goodness.
nomeansno are a juggernaut. the best energy and style
@@normaleehiThey’re incredibly underrated. Amazing rhythm section.
Big Dick, maybe? Bass/Drum/Vocals only track...
nomeansno are one of the greatest bands ever.
I will 3rd this...nomeansno is absolutely incredible. Fugazi and Nomeansno are not your typical punk bands. Miles ahead and different than the rest.
Definitely check out their song, "Long Division" from their album, "Steady Diet of Nothing". The bass line is so badass. It's interesting how well the guitar and bass play off of each other. At times it's hard to figure out which is which. One of my favorite Fugazi bass lines.
Such a great damn album. 30 years later still one I listen to.
@@seanperry3667 Most definitely. Repeater is their album that I've put the most plays on since it came out. Repeater and 13 Songs were/are their most defining albums of my youth.
i highly recommend the live vid 'Shut the Door', from a great concert film Fugazi did with the brilliant director Jem Cohen called Instrument. you get to see up close and spaced out all the nuances you brought up, like the instrument sounds and weaving parts. it would be an awesome reaction. having fun here watching you get into punk!
You were first to comment this, such a fantastic cathartic performance that I keep rewatching
I was going to recommend this as well as a great live video of them.
I'd recommend a breakdown of Nomeansno. Rob Wright's bass work is incredible. The album Wrong is full of top notch bass lines.
That albums was excellent
I remember watching them in the then Irish Centre in Birmingham England
and being mesmerized by the bass playing
+1
Sounds like you're due for some Minutemen and one of punks greatest bass player, Mike Watt. Of course The Dead Kennedys are maybe my favorite of the more musical punk bands, much of their stuff is very bass driven.
🤟🧙♂🤟
Klaus is a monster
You’ve covered some great bands and songs so far. Now you need to get to some Propagandhi! My suggestion, from a bass standpoint, would be Failed Imagineer. Todd Kowalski is a beast on that track!
You are crushing it lately. I got to see Fugazi exactly 1 time in my life before they called it quits, and my life was changed as a result.
Proposal for you next video: A Picture Postcard by The Promise Ring. I covered that song with my band in college and it's such a fun bass line to play.
I got to see Fugazi in the mid 90's but never got to see The Promise Ring, I've told him to check out Scott Shifflet of Face To Face and Jason Black of Hot Water Music
You should check out The Suicide Machines. They are more on the punk/ska side but the bass is amazing. Look into the songs "High anxiety", "Inside/outside", or "Too Much". Honestly if you like ska you should check out the entire Destruction by Definition album. It is seriously GOATed.
As an aside, I keep coming back for your punk content. You're fucking crushing it dude. You make me jealous hearing all this gold for the first time. Keep up the good work!
Man! Thank you so much. Having a blast and can’t thank you enough for chiming in with great suggestions and such. Cheers!!!
You should check Lagwagon's "Give It Back", it has bass intro, good riffs, and fast fills, all the things we like to hear in songs.
It’s more of a drum showcase.
@@mitchellhedden1978 but You can't tell me that the bass line is not (at least) very good.
@@mitchellhedden1978The bass line in Give it Back is amazing…
@@ftomasi
It’s an interesting bass line and it’s prominently featured but it’s (I assume intentionally) a bad take. Jesse is one of my favourite bassists but there’s not too much to analyze there, I think. But I could be wrong.
What song would you suggest instead?
Ian Mackaye the main singer on this track was the front man in Minor Threat prior to Fugazi. If you haven’t checked out Minor Threat, they are more of a classic straight edge punk.. really great stuff
@highvoltage1979 he also did a project named Egg Hunt. Check it out.
Pretty sure everyone knows that
Ian was also in Embrace. Guy was the frontman for rites of spring
I'm afraid Guy Picciotto is singing the verses. :)
Negative.. Ian is singing lead on the verses with Guy singing harmony and parts of the chorus.
I love seeing the punk community completely engulfing you with requests! It warms my heart truly. My personal recommendation is:
I Want To Be Wrong - No Use For A Name
One of my personal favourite bands of all time. Beautiful melodies and there's some good bass fills in here. Nothing super extraordinary though
Lots of No Use songs would be good for this channel!
I was thinking the same.
It's been a ton of fun watching you get into these bands, and great seeing you hit Fugazi. I know I said it before, but Joe Lally is just so good at finding the *coolest* thing to make a song better. Not flashiest or fastest... but always what the song needs.
This really is cool seeing you discover some of my favorite and most influential bands. Amazing job letting your community guide you down interesting new paths and being so openminded.
Thanks a ton!
Watching someone hear Fugazi for the first time is hypnotic. You should totally check out the early live video of this on YT. One of the best there is. Straight-X dancing from the off. The ones with fans on the stage, you know the one.
i had the joy of getting to see Fugazi live in nashville back in the day! A show i will never forget
Love watching your punk journey!
Yay! Thank you!
Fugazi is awesome. They're delightfully diverse for a band that's so rugged and raw. I attribute it to their two singers/guitarists originally fronting Minor Threat and Rites of Spring; two bands that couldn't have been on more different ends of the punk rock spectrum.
Before Foo Fighters, Nate Mendel was in Sunny Day Real Estate. Their song “In Circles” has a fantastic bass line by Nate.
Growing up in DC and talking to Joe many times, I can say he’s not only a great, influential bass player but an overall awesome guy. Thanks for checking out my hometown band. They have much better and more evolved albums after 13 songs, you may want to give them a listen. .
This made me feel young and ancient all at the same time. I heard Fugazi for the first time in 1991. This was the first song I heard. I still remember how I I thought “whoa! What is this?? I need more of this in my life”. I liked Minor Threat and Embrace but Fugazi was to me the best “thinking persons” punk.
Drive Like Jehu is Fugazi on steroids. A very influential band. Join Reis later started Rocket from the crypt which kinda has an old school rock n roll vibe and they have horns. Give both a shot please!
Hot Snakes is really good too. Automatic Midnight is the ultimate driving fast and kicking ass record.
It’s so crazy to watch this guy just fucking get every Punk and every Ska song he listens to. For having no history of this music we love, he just innately understands the music. He knows what they intended. I’m a bit jealous tbh. This is just pure talent and love of music. Much respect bruddah.
Awesome choice. Do add Minutemen to your queue, anything off of Double Nickels on the Dime ('This Ain't No Picnic' being one of my personal favorites). Another truly pioneering punk band that sounded just like... themselves 👍
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Drive Like Jehu. Maybe their song, Bullet Train to Vegas?
Basic music history: You have the hardcore punk scene during the 1980s. Then in the DC hardcore scene in 1985, you get two bands that go for a more melodic, traditional sound. They're inspired by the band Husker Du, who were the first hardcore band to be signed to a major label, but who also get the lionshare of the credit for merging the hardcore and college rock scenes. In doing so, they're often credited as (one of) the first alternative rock bands.
The two DC bands were Embrace, and Rights of Spring. People have been arguing about this for 40 years now, on whether to call them post-hardcore or emo. But, at the start, "post hardcore" was the nice way of describing the music, while "emo" was basically an epithet. But this difference basically caused a split. On one side, you have Embrace and the Rights of Spring break up, and the frontmen from the two bands start Fugazi, calling it post-hardcore. On the other side, you get bands like Drive Like Jehu, who embrace the "emo" name. Warning: This is not the same as the emo that you heard in the late '00s. Like, not even close.
Drive Like Jehu were the ones who introduced noise rock and math rock into emo(/post hardcore). They were also the first emo band signed to a major label, but only because they made it a condition of their *other* band, Rocket From the Crypt, getting signed to that label. They, along with Sunny Day Real Estate pretty much set the tone for emo for the next 10 years, until a very sanitized variant became popular.
I just have to say, you're so awesome for doing all these requests. 👍
I try my best!! 🙏🏼
This brings back so many great memories listening to this again…spent hours trying to learn this on bass in early nineties …love your channel..keep the punk and hardcore coming
I’m loving the punk chapter! Try checking out The Descendents - Myage
Or Bikeage!
Myage is one we need to get this guy to do! Comment that on every video he has.
Great reaction as always!
Another suggestion for your punk journey: Bent but not broken - Face to Face
That's a good one, or damn near anything from HWM. Jason Black is great.
@@tylerleeson3045if we’re talking Hot Water Music bass it’s gotta be Radio Free Gainesville or Drag My Body
@@TheBrysonK Jet Set Ready is my pick for HWM, but literally any song off No Division rips.
Unscripted Moments by Propagandhi would be my next one
I've been mentioning Face To Face and Hot Water Music since I saw his Rancid videos 😂😂
@@1thess523Agreed... they are both high on the list of bass driven amazingness.
Rich Kids on LSD - Betrayed or Lagwagon - Lazy
Yess!!! Lagwagon!!!!
Tribute to the Jester has a gnarly intro
Upvote for awareness! Once again lagwagon!! Lazy! Or so many others really. Jesse is so awesome and underrated on Bass
@@jeremy7383 i'd go for give it back, great bass playing there
So cool to see you do Fugazi. Such a great band 👍🏻👍🏻
Man, I’m loving this dive into punk. I’m a big time punker myself, so it is really fun to listen to your impressions of songs I’ve known for so long. I cannot recommend the band propaghandi enough. They are an incredible band. Anything from one of their last 5 albums would be great, but I’ve got to recommend Dark Matter from their Failed States album. Great band.
Same!! And yes Propaghandi
Thanks so much, glad you’re hanging out here and digging it! Propagandhi is for sure on the list, stay tuned!
Yes Propagandhi for sure!
Maybe "Without Love"
Or something off the Victory Lap album might be up your alley. That's a tough on though, picking one song from them.
For those that don’t know about this band, please traverse the Fugazi rabbit hole. You won’t regret it. Repeater + 3 Songs will always have a special place in my heart. Joe Lally has got the goods, love his approach, one hell of a bassist and after 30 years still influences my playing.
seconding jumping into the rabbit hole. 'The Argument' is easily one of my top 5 all time albums.
You gotta hear Myage by Descendents. They're essential for what modern (pop) punk would become
I 2nd this!!! Or anything Descendents.
Great suggestion, an absolute must.
One of my all time favorite bands. love hearing you break it down and analyze it. cool to see your reactions as well. love the video!!!
This is amazing! You're bringing the awareness of punk rock bass.
You’ve got to do one for the punk band, ALL. The song, Birds, from their album Percolator. Karl Alvarez is the best bassist in punk.
Also Descendents, the song Uranus from the album ALL is amazing. These are both instrumentals. Please do both bands! :)
Definitely! If we're gonna do ALL, gotta do Descendents as well
Descendent's Parents is like the most angst-ridden bass line ever. Nothing special about it, but All's Dot bass always gets me moving around
harrumph!
And Karl wasn't even playing bass very long when he joined Descendents which makes all of the stuff off of the Descendents - ALL record even more impressive. He didn't start playing until he was 18.
Came here to say just this. Was trying to nail down a song recommendation.... they're all going to challenge the bass.
Op ivy and fugazi 13 songs both came out in 1989
This was a great reaction. As much as I've loved this song over the decades, hearing your take gave me some new ways to appreciate it. Keep it up!
Thanks for the nice words!! Appreciate you stopping by 🙏🏼💙
RKL - BETRAYED
Coming very soon! Stay tuned!
@@LowEndUniversity Yes. (ox)Nard-core has a lot of great bass
Blocked out!
Solid choice
Agreed
A couple things: The verse has the guitar just going back and forth between a F#5 and a F#5/G. He plays straight muted 8th notes but when switching between chords plays almost like a 32nd note triplet. Also, Fugazi never used synths they were all about being as stripped down and DIY as possible. Thirdly, if you want another punk song to listen to check out Just Like Clockwork by Lower Class Brats, it’s probably my favorite punk bass line
This song, this band, is from a time where things really changed and got fun(in the so-called punk genre). Fugazi were an absolutely incredible experience live!
Also, check out 7 Seconds(the bass player, and drummer are terribly underrated). Also 1999/2000's 7 Seconds have more Hardcore Punk sound, but lots of melody and great bass playing. Check out the songs, "Satyagraha", "Happy Rain", "Slow Down A Second", "This Is Temporary", and the fun baseline in "Y.P.H". 7 Seconds have lots of great songs
*funk
The bass work on all "Soulforce Revolution" is amazing
Bad Brains and Husker Du are the bands from the 80's I always suggest to anyone that wants to listen from a musicians standpoint. Grey Matter, 76% Uncertain, and Dinosaur Jr first album are also on the must listen list. All bands that brought something to the table that changed the sound. Dinosaur Jr (especially Mountain Man) would be your most interesting bass adventure I would think...
Mike Watt is also in fIREHOSE - the song Brave Captain has incredible, playful bass
Propagandhi - With Friends like these (particularly the melodic bass outro)
Dead Kennedy's - the classics like Holiday in Camboida, California Uber Alles (and both for East Bay Ray's guitar tone), fun bass A Child and his Lawnmower
i have to absolutely second this, Dead Kennedys are so worth while exploring, Holiday in Cambodia has such an interesting bass line, really captivating.
i learned to play Moon Over Marin just because it has a lot of fun bass
Fugazi is one of my favorite bands and one of those that cannot be overlooked when talked about global influence.
There's another band that cannot be dismissed for the same reason, and also for the importance of the bass parts. I'm talking about NoMeansNo. As their music progressed, they had become more complex sonically, but their debut album "Mama" from 1982 (recorded almost entirely on bass and drums), even though raw, indicated some solid foundation of what NMN had become known for.
The whole album is great, but when it comes to bass lines, you gotta check tracks: Living Is Free, No Sex, Rich Guns, I'm All Wet.
ruclips.net/video/5730TUEiE0U/видео.html
Yes! I was scrolling these comments to make sure NoMeansNo was mentioned!
It’s FUGAZI bro! So much influence in punk, hardcore and indie.
Boy, you brought a big smile to my face doing this song. Thank you Sir.
On your punk rock journey. You must visit, "fIREHOSE - Brave Captain" Mike Watt is a legendary bass player. and "Nomeansno - Rags And Bone"s Rob Wright plays a mean bass guitar.
I love your reactions especially to Les Claypool and Primus. I just subscribed now that you doing Fugazi. This is awesome!
Awesome! Right on - thanks for joining, Jeff!
Great song great breakdown and analysis, love it as always brother
Much appreciated man! Thanks for always stopping in!!
This made me smile. This song ends up on every Playlist I make. An all time fave.
13 songs is their first two EPs, Fugazi (first 7 songs) and Margin Walker (next 6 songs).
This channel is becoming my favorite, at an alarming rate. Loving the real time discovery how good this genre is.
FUCKED UP.
GOT AMBUSHED.
ZIPPED IN.
Thanks for that! I really appreciate your comments on all the videos - cheers to you!
@@LowEndUniversity cheers to your active involvement with your community!
My later half of the comment is the acronym where the band name comes from, btw, lol. F.U.G.A.Z.I.
Oh dang. Good to know! Learning a lot from all of you!
Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Really digging this content. FUGAZI. wow. well done
Glad you enjoy it! Means so much to hear. Cheers!!
I listen to Fugazi at least once a week. Great band. Wish they made more music.
Also, some great tunes by Fugazi: "Sieve Fisted Find", "Turnover", "Long Division", "Public Witness Program", and a personal favorite of mine, "Bed for the Scraping", and then "Break". Fugazi is a band where you can all kinds of great songs and great sounds.
Smallpox Champion, & Shut The Door should be mentioned as well
All great songs got to see Fugazi live once they charged only 5 dollars and it was the best night of musical improv ever!!
Thanks everyone!!
@@LowEndUniversity you've gotta do a video on Bed For The Scraping, that bass line is killer
Welcome to another bass line that will randomly pop into your head on a regular basis. That is your life now, just as it is ours. 😄
For real. You find yourself singing/humming it now and then.
Seen these guys along time ago and by far one of the best and wildest shows I have ever seen in my life. Once in a lifetime band to see if you were able to see them. More of these guys please.
11:36 It’s been so much fun to be on this journey of discovery with you. Takes me back to introducing friends to punk in 9th grade or introducing my kids to it now. Thanks for listening to the audience and letting us have this experience with you!
Cheers man, that means a lot!!
Loving watching your journey into punk. Going to recommend Streetlight Manifesto again because I know you are going to enjoy the hell out of it
“Everything Went Numb” by them is on the list. Stay tuned!!
I can't wait to see the dive into more Ska punk since you appreciate the horns so much. Also skapunk is more interesting bass wise cuz it's doing the heavy lifting while the up stroke rhythm is pretty basic on guitar.
It's time to get into some Descendents!
Very soon, within a couple weeks. Stay tuned!
I’ve been enjoying these videos a lot. Watching an accomplished bass player speak music about some of my favorite songs of all time is rad, because I know all of these lol. It started with your Matt Freeman video
Love these guys! My old band used to cover Waiting Room, good times!
The should check out rkl next
Bent but not broken by Face to face has such a great opening bass line. Scott Shiflett is such a talented bass player……and yes he is the brother of Foo fighters ( and former No Use for a Name) guitarist Chris Shiflett.
Came here to say the same. Can't decide though... Matt Riddle days or Scott Shiflett! Both amazing Bass players and the hard driving sound of Face to Face.
❤❤❤❤❤fugazi…
Most any song would do..
Takes me back 38 years when I first heard this song.
This song blew my mind the first time I heard it. I was already listening to some punk, but this didn’t sound like anything I’d ever heard. Opened me up to a totally different thing.
You should check out Catch 22 my favorites of theirs are: walking away, keasby nights, or 1234 1234
“Day in day out” too, it is nuts with the fast bass !!
Yes! My old band covered this jam. Fugazi is integral to the progression of punk/hardcore/emo.
Still "waiting" for some Hot Water Music! (They are heavily influenced by fugazi)
My old bend did it too! :) And it was the early 90's in Croatia, pre-internet, pre-CD era. We heard it on some skateboarding video and immediately loved it. Somehow we managed to get a copy of their albums and that was it for us
@@olegberic624 love that!
love all the punk music you have been putting on here
I came to this a few weeks ago and am loving you just getting sent punk rock after punk rock 😆
Do drag my body by hot water music!
not sure what genre you wanna label Streetlight Manifesto with, but it's tremendous with uber tremendous backline
That plinkity sound he mentions used to be played live with his back to the audience like it was a secret how he played it. I see them several times, once on tour for this album, and everytime this song was played he turned his back to the crowd
Your song choices are perfect. I'm hooked.
THERE ARE a ton of subgenres and a lot of times they mean nothing! But in Fugazi's case, they are credited (along with Rites of Spring) as some of the "creators" of Post- Hardcore
Descendents myage or bikage would be great more of hardcore feel but they essentially inspired the whole pop punk scene that bands like nofx are a part of
Seeing his reaction to Karl Alvarez's (not just Tony's) work would be awesome as well. Maybe Pretty Little Girl by ALL off of Allroy Sez?
@@sqidvishus yeah I mean the whole descendents and all discography has amazing bass in basically every track. I just picked those songs because they’re from an iconic album and are amazing tracks. But there are certainly more complicated and interesting songs in their discography.
Very cool! One of my favorite groups for sure.
Great to see some Fugazi.
Takes me back in a great way!!
Awesome video again!!
If you like Fugazi, try Hot Water Music, which I believe is the natural evolution of Fugazi.... Keep up the good work!!!
Jason Black is pretty pretty good
Loving the punk reactions!
It's more in NOFX's style ("skate punk"); but I'd suggest some Lagwagon next, try the song Obsolete Absolute :)
Or maybe Move the Car
Yes!! Fugazi is awesome. Damn, you’ve picked some great bands to learn about.
3:01 I love how this one is difficult but is like one of my first basslines I learned in late nineties. This was hardest button of the 90s 🪬

Gotta give some Hot Water Music a go man! Jason Black is an astounding bassist.
On my list! Stay tuned!
Yes!
Fugazi is a band who’s ambition exceeded their ability, and I absolutely love them for it.
