Margin Walker is the second EP by the American post-hardcore band Fugazi. It was originally released in June 1989 on vinyl and again in the same year on the compilation release 13 Songs along with the debut EP Fugazi. The 12" vinyl went out of print, but was remastered and reissued by Dischord Records in October 2009.[2]
Margin Walker was recorded at Southern Studios in London, where Fugazi had finished their first European tour. It was produced by John Loder who was the engineer for several underground artists, including anarcho-punk band Crass which greatly influenced Fugazi.[3] Originally intended to be their first studio album, Margin Walker was released as an EP due to what the members perceived as sub-par performances caused by the exhausting tour.[3][4]
Covers[]
"Margin Walker" was covered live by Wild Flag.[5] "Provisional" was covered by The Dirty Nil as a b-side to their "No Weaknesses" single.[6] Ryan Adams covered the track "Promises" live.[7]
