Fugazi (/fuˈɡɑːzi/; foo-GAH-zee) was[a] an American post-hardcore band formed in Washington, D.C., in 1986. The band consisted of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally, and drummer Brendan Canty. They were noted for their style-transcending music, DIY ethical stance, manner of business practice, and contempt for the music industry.

Fugazi performed numerous worldwide tours and produced six studio albums, a film, and a comprehensive live series, gaining the band critical acclaim and success around the world.[1] Highly influential on punk and alternative music, the band has been on an indefinite hiatus since 2003. Although the band currently has no plans to reunite, all four members remain on good terms and have regularly played music together in private since going on hiatus.[2]
