The Nuge meets Fugazi



So I'm listening to Ted Nuget musing about the Ian Mackaye reference citing the Nuge as an influence.

First things first, NRA weirdness aside the Nuge rocks. His extreme right views actually make the Fugazi comparison more interesting--form over content.

That settled, listen to the percussive guitar style, I can see how Mackaye was a fan, and in turn how that may have infused into Fugazi's music. I think it was a unique sense of rhythm that really made Fugazi's music interesting. I think the Nuge may have been part of this equation , in addition to Bad Brains shift to reggae music.

sorry jay, I cannot get behind your NUGE rocks sentiment!
Guess his anti-Canadianism just rubs me the wrong way.

I will continue to love Fugazi though!
