about

Curated by:
Joseph William Clark Milik, esq. Author of iowahardcore.blogspot.com

From Iowa Hard Blogspot:

"A brief look at the bright but, for the most part, unsung past and present of hardcore punk rock from the state of Iowa. The songs here-in are the products of different strange scenes spread out across the years and the state, or, often times, the product of absolutely no scene at all. By no means an exhaustive list, this compilation represents only a tiny portion of Iowa's bands ranging from the early days on the verge of being lost to time to more modern and current bands making their own noise. A curious history to say the least, and one that I believe deserves a second look and more recognition than it receives. The music speaks for itself. Go start your own band."
