In early January 1988 and after only ten shows, Fugazi decided to go into Inner Ear Studio to see what their music sounded
like on tape, Despite the fact that Ian, Joe, and Brendan had been playing together for nearly a year, it was still early days for
the band, Guy had only been a full member of Fugazi for a few months and only sang lead on one song ("Break In"), It
would be nearly another year before he would start playing guitar with the band.
At that time, the studio was still located in the basement of engineer Don Zientara's family house, It was a familiar space as
almost all of the members of Fugazi had recorded there with their previous bands (Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Deadline,
Insurrection, Rites of Spring, Skewbald, Embrace, and One Last Wish), Joey Picuri (aka Joey P), who would later become one
of Fugazi's longtime sound engineers, joined the band for the initial tracking, The sessions only lasted a couple of days, but
tour dates and indecision about the tape would delay the final mix for another two months, Though the band was at first
pleased with the results, it soon became clear that this tape would remain a demo as new songs were being written and the
older songs were evolving and changing shape while the band was out on tour, It was decided that the session would be
passed out free as cassette copies, with the band actively encouraging people to share the recording, In the spring, Fugazi went
out on its first U.S, tour and a few weeks after returning from the road they went back to Inner Ear to record what would
become their debut Dischord release, the self-titled 7-song 12" EP.
The only song from the demo session that was formally released was "In Defense of Humans", which appeared on the State of
the Union compilation in 1989, Now, some 26 years later, Dischord is releasing the entire first demo including the one song
("Turn Off Your Guns") that wasn't included on the original cassette.
