Faraquet /ˈfærəkɛt/ is an American post-hardcore band from Washington D.C., United States, sometimes placed in the math rock genre. The trio formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2001 after releasing its debut full-length on Dischord Records. Faraquet were influenced by D.C.-based peers like Fugazi, Jawbox, and Nation of Ulysses as well as progressive rock bands like King Crimson. 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.
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. Devin currently plays in the EFFECTS, who have released one full-length (also on Dischord).
