In 1993, Fugazi spent a weekend in Chicago recording 12 songs with Steve Albini—intended as the follow-up to Steady Diet of Nothing. But when the two sides independently agreed the sessions fell short, they scrapped them. Later that year the band re-recorded the material with Ted Nicely, released it as their third studio LP, In on the Kill Taker. The original "Albini sessions" became legend—until now, twenty three years later, they have finally been released as a digital, pay-what-you-want album, with proceeds supporting the Albini founded Letters Charity.

EP294: Social Distortion "Born to Kill"
Published 9 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] You know, I just don't, my expectations weren't, aren't so high that, you know, like I'm expecting something to be groundbreaking, I guess. Totally fair. To be clear, X's last record was spoken fiction. But I think that's a good comparison. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, so I actually, to your question, Mike, I actually thought about that a little bit leading up to this episode. And one thing that I think is also important about bands continuing to record is in the right way, like X or Social D, since these are the two bands that we brought up, is that it's really fun to see... like another little level of spark and inspiration.
