The KINGS kick off the start of April with a deep dive into the raw, uncompromising legacy of one of hardcore punk’s most intense and influential bands: FUGAZI. Known for their blisteringly fast sound, politically charged lyrics, and confrontational presence, FUGAZI reshaped the boundaries of aggression in hardcore—laying the groundwork for what would become known as powerviolence.
This episode portends a big KOPPOD month as it traces the band’s early years in Washington, D.C., their landmark recordings, and their lasting impact on generations of extreme music. From their iconic Repeater LP to their legendary $5 shows, FUGAZI’s presence looms large—and we’re breaking it all down here, on April 1st, 2025.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just hearing about them for the first time right now, as March has come to a close, this episode is required listening for anyone interested in how hardcore evolved at the margins—and how FUGAZI helped redefine its fury.
