“Silence Is A Dangerous Sound: A Tribute To Fugazi” Released

Arising from the mid-80s DC punk scene, Fugazi created a wealth of emotional yet immediately absorbing music that countless bands strive to better even now. They crafted a sound that didn’t so much bridge the worlds of alternative rock, punk and hardcore but rather tightly interwove them, resulting in a sound that has influenced anyone with a guitar, a moral compass and the drive to create something that could tear the world in two, or stitch it back together.

Fugazi championed a DIY approach to recording and releasing music that is held up as a standard to this day, and it’s in that spirit that this collection has come to life. Silence Is A Dangerous Sound: A Tribute To Fugazi brings together 43 bands who have embraced that same drive and innovation to pay tribute to their forefathers with a diverse array of approaches. From the reggae-infected punk of Authority Zero through to ZAO’s searing hardcore, these unique takes on well-known and well-loved cuts are a testament to the legacy of one of punk’s most iconic and influential acts.

Silence Is A Dangerous Sound: A Tribute To Fugazi is now available digitally and as a limited run double CD via Ripcord Records. All profits from the release will be donated to the Tribe Animal Sanctuary in Scotland.
