Red Medicine

back in stock on 150 gram vinyl with a download card fugazi are as notable for their 'political music for the common man' approach as for the stopstart riffing that made their guitarsandgestalttherapy sound into an industry buzz their 1995 album 'red medicine' reasserts the band's grasp on alternaangst and charging guitars enough so to make your jaws lock yet 'red medicine' isn't just another exercise in fugazistyle political manifestos on it fugazi come across more as musicians than politicians the yelping 'i have something to prove' tone of previous releases has relaxed into a more confident approach the dueling guitars are looser more melodic the riffs and vocals don't bark and grate as much they simmer and in some cases even swing songs like 'birthday party' may still rely on the oldschool fugazi approach the proven shout and powerchord stomp but 'forensic scene' sounds almost beatlesque in its lovely hesitance regardless of that evolution 'red medicine' still includes all the things that made 'repeater'era fugazi so inspiring their standard ringing guitars and shouted vocals glaring through the mix but 'red medicine' also shows a newfound eloquence a quieter approach for their songwriting craft and previously unseen musicianship
