Faraquet /ˈfærəkɛt/ is an influential post-hardcore band from Washington D.C. sometimes placed in the math rock genre. They were formed in 1997, and disbanded in 2001. They were on Dischord Records, and were influenced by bands like Fugazi, Jawbox, Nation of Ulysses,[1] as well as King Crimson.[2] The band has recently reissued all of the material released prior to their full length and briefly reformed to play shows in support of this project in Brazil and their native Washington, D.C.[3]

Following Faraquet's dissolution, Chad and Devin went on to form Medications, which released an EP and two albums on Dischord Records before going on hiatus in 2011[4]. Devin currently plays in the EFFECTS, who have released one full-length (also on Dischord) [5].
