Fugazi: Steady Diet of Nothing LP

Originally issued in 1991, Steady Diet Of Nothing is the second full-length from influential Washington D.C. post-hardcore group Fugazi led by Ian MacKaye, formerly of Minor Threat and Embrace, and also featuring guitarist/vocalist Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty. Recorded at famed Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia and released on MacKaye's own Dischord Records, home to all six of the band's studio albums, Steady Diet Of Nothing (named after a quote from comedian Bill Hicks) was Fugazi's first self-produced effort, an adventurous 11-song leap chock full of inventive anti-establishment protest songs and tight breakneck rhythms that further distanced them from the punk rock norm and fully demonstrated that they weren't interested in churning out the same old stuff that got them there.
