On this day March 12 1984 Marillion released their second studio album Fugazi. The album continued the band's progressive rock sound with a darker and more complex approach than their debut.
Fugazi reached number five on the UK charts and featured standout tracks like Assassing and Punch and Judy. The album helped Marillion solidify their place in the progressive rock scene of the 80s and paved the way for their later success.
80s insight: The album’s title Fugazi is a term used by soldiers meaning "messed up beyond repair" which fit the album’s themes of chaos and instability.
