Turn Up The Kick-Ass, Iowa City Punk 1995-1999

   This is a compilation of nine punk bands from Iowa City that are no longer together.  For the most part none of these bands ever released anything.  That is where I came in.  I spent years collecting flyers, photos, stories, zines, artwork, and really crappy cassette tapes.  Nobody really wanted to help out at all.  In fact several people tried to get me to stop!  But I somehow managed to clean up most of the recordings to a point where they are listenable and compiled a 22-page booklet out of piles and piles of collected junk.  Each band has it's own spread in the booklet explaining it's background, members, song lyrics, or whatever else I thought people would find interesting or amusing.  I made 50 hand numbered CDs and when they're gone they're gone.  The music is great in my opinion, the booklet is entertaining and overall I think it is well worth the measly $10 (shipping included).
