We are very excited to share The Darling Fire’s cover of the Fugazi song ‘Reclamation,’ which is taken off the upcoming Fugazi tribute album ‘Silence Is A Dangerous Sound,’ out Oct 1 on Ripcord Records. Proceeds from the effort will be donated to Tribe Animal Sanctuary Scotland. Check out the full tracklisting below or head over to silenceisadangeroussound.com for more info.

‘Reclamation’ was originally released on Fugazi’s 1991 album ‘Steady Diet Of Nothing,’ of which Guy Picciotto has said that "there was a flatness to both the performances and the sound that was weird to us." No flatness whatsoever can be found in The Darling Fire’s take on the song, which not only bristles with a restless energy but also still serves as a battle cry for personal freedom, something that is as relevant today as it was 20 years ago.

“Fugazi’s “Reclamation” strikes a chord for so many reasons,” says The Darling Fire vocalist Jolie Lindholm. “During these strange times when the future is and has been so uncertain, I think it’s important to be vocal about what we want and are going to continue to allow. Many of us have let a lot of things go on too long and we should recognize the power each of us have within ourselves.”

The Darling Fire was born of both deep struggle and deeper friendship, following years of individual success in bands such as The Rocking Horse Winner, Further Seems Forever, Dashboard Confessional, Poison The Well, Shai Hulud, As Friends Rust, and Strongarm among others. Together, the Florida-based five-piece managed to flawlessly combine fuzzed out riffs, introspective lyrics, warm melodies and a brooding atmosphere on their 2019 debut album ‘Dark Celebration’ and are now ready to get back at it. They recently announced signing to Iodine Recordings and are in the studio right now recording their sophomore album with none other than Jay Maas. Follow the band on Facebook or Instagram to stay up to date.
