I have some Fugazi if you want it

That'd be squiffy; incidentally is their name anything to do with the Marillion album of the same name?

not sure tbh. Just dont expect anything like Marillion

Nothing to do with Marillion. It's a US Army 'Namism - a contraction of "Fucked-Up Situation". The band Fugazi are a seminal hardcore band from Washington DC. The first mini-alum ("Fugazi") or the album "Repeater" would probably be good places to start. I can't remember whiat the recent album's called, actually. I haven't listened to it much, as I've moved and it's still buried somewhere.

If you like them , then I'd recommend also checking out Shellac and mclusky.

I was going to point out that their lead chappy was in Minor Threat etc but I think that would have gone right over robins head.
