'The Stars Are a Free Show' Volume 1

'The Stars Are a Free Show' Volume 1

So yeah, alongside issue six of the zine we released a compilation cassette of bands that had been featured over the years, or were in some way related to the local scene, which included a bunch of genres from thrash-skatepunk, through instrumental emo, ambient, post-hardcore, and up to black-metal. Anyway, the tapes sold out pretty quick, so both sides are now up on Youtube for your convenient listening pleasure. The video in this post is side A, and side B can be found here:

Thanks a lot; enjoy! :)
