13 Songs

by Fugazi

The 705th greatest album of all time

13 Songs (1989) compiles Fugazi's first two EPs and captures their early post-hardcore sound: angular, rhythmic guitar interplay, propulsive bass and drums, and Ian MacKaye's urgent, concise vocals paired with socially aware lyrics. Recorded at Inner Ear and released on Dischord, the short, tightly arranged tracks emphasize dynamics and a DIY ethic that helped define the band's influence within the post-hardcore scene.
