Red Medicine by Fugazi
Red Medicine is an album by Fugazi, released in 1995. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Target”, on 2 lists with a best position of #95.
Red Medicine, Fugazi's fourth studio album, came out on Dischord on June 12, 1995, and it finds the Washington, D.C., band doing things strictly their own way, with the same DIY stubbornness and open contempt for the music industry that always defined them. Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto trade guitars and vocals, knotting their parts around each other, while Joe Lally's bass and Brendan Canty's drums lock into grooves that are as tense as they are springy.
Coming after In on the Kill Taker, it's post-hardcore that refuses to stay in one lane, and "Target" is the tightly wound standout. The joke is that a band so famously uninterested in the business scored its best chart showing here: number 126 on the Billboard 200 and 18 in the UK. End Hits came next.
