Who are some of the artists/bands that cite Fugazi as an influence?
We are sure that there are hundreds of artists that do, but here is a list of some ‘well-known’ Fugazi lovers. Eddie Vedder- Pearl Jam Michael Stipe- R.E.M. Kurt Cobain- Nirvana Courtney Love- Hole Thurston Moore- Sonic Youth Keanu Reeves- Dogstar Bikini Kill Face to Face Atom and His Package Daniel Johns- Silverchair Here’s a quote from Daniel Johns: “”Fugazi is the only band where I like every single song, including the B-sides. The music is stripped back and very raw and very experimental. I’ve always liked Ian MacKaye and his approach to life and his approach to music. I admire someone who has ideals and beliefs and integrity and doesn’t give in to them for the sake of being cool. On both these albums the songs are really simple and they’re arranged in creative ways. Fugazi have the attitude of punk rock but the experimentation of arty rock music. I think they have something special and they know it, so they don’t want to fuck with the formula too much.
