By June 1993, when Washington, D.C.'s Fugazi released their third
full-length album In on the Kill Taker, the quartet was reaching a
thunderous peak in popularity and influence. With two EPs (combined
into the classic CD 13 songs) and two albums (1990's genre-defining
Repeater and 1991's impressionistic follow-up Steady Diet of
Nothing) inside of five years, Fugazi was on creative roll,
astounding increasingly large audiences as they toured, blasting
fist-pumping anthems and jammy noise-workouts that roared into
every open underground heart. When the album debuted on the
now-SoundScan-driven charts, Fugazi had never been more in the
public eye. Few knew how difficult it had been to make this popular
breakthrough. Disappointed with the sound of the self-produced
Steady Diet, the band recorded with legendary engineer Steve
Albini, only to scrap the sessions and record at home in D.C. with
Ted Niceley, their brilliant, under-known producer. Inadvertently,
Fugazi chose an unsure moment to make In on the Kill Taker: as
Nirvana and Sonic Youth were yanking the American rock underground
into the media glare, and "breaking" punk in every possible meaning
of the word. Despite all of this, Kill Taker became an alt-rock
classic in spite of itself, even as its defiant, muscular sound
stood in stark contrast to everything represented by the
mainstreaming of a culture and worldview they held dear. This book
features new interviews with all four members of Fugazi and members
of their creative community.
