First Demo is a historic archival release capturing Fugazi at their raw, urgent genesis. Recorded at Inner Ear Studios with Don Zientara, these 11 tracks document the band’s earliest studio session after only a handful of live shows. Remixed and remastered from the original tapes, this 2022 Dischord Records reissue arrives on blue vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and MP3 download card. Tracks like “Waiting Room,” “Merchandise,” and “Song #1” reveal the band's fully formed political energy and rhythmic intensity right from the start. Essential for longtime fans and first-time listeners alike, First Demo is an uncompromising introduction to one of post-hardcore’s most vital bands.
