Margin Walker was recorded at Southern Studios in London, where Fugazi had finished their first European tour. It was produced by John Loder who was the engineer for several underground artists, including anarcho-punk band Crass which greatly influenced Fugazi.[3] Originally intended to be their first studio album, Margin Walker was released as an EP due to what the members perceived as sub-par performances caused by the exhausting tour.[3][4]

Covers

"Margin Walker" was covered live by Wild Flag.[5] "Provisional" was covered by The Dirty Nil as a b-side to their "No Weaknesses" single.[6] Ryan Adams covered the track "Promises" live.[7]
