Jan 3, 2013The Odds show that Fugazi doesn't need to reunite in order to make music that still very much matters.

Nov 28, 2012The Odds is excellent, because the odds are never against him.

Nov 19, 2012The Odds is, in every way, the product of scaling down operations rather than of giving up or throwing the fans a nostalgia trip. It's fair to say that the Evens have set their target low and close; you could also call that intimacy.
