Pretty cool comp put together by a bunch of zinesters. The Phenoms offered up an early version of "Cross Section" on this one. Other bands included The Mascots, the Manhandlers, Reagan National Crash Diet and He Who Corrupts to name a few.
You may have even less luck finding this release at Loop Distro .
Some kids from downstate Illinois put this together and we never heard from them again.
You'll never find this muthuh.
Sampler comp that the fellas over at Criminal IQ put together. The Phenoms track is an early version of "Part of the Deal". Other bands include the Krunchies, VeeDee, the Manhandlers, M.O.T.O., Functional Blackouts and the New Black.

We were damn proud to be on this comp honoring possibly the greatest dive bar on this here globe, Cal's Liquors. We regurgitated "Sure to Come" and bands like Tijuana Hercules, Big Buildings, Velcro Lewis, Siderunners, the Dials, the Returnables, and Sybris kicked in too.
Do yourself a favor and stop by Cal's, have a beer and pick this one up. Here's where to find it.
Release #2 on Beercan Records with It Burns who hailed from Carbondale, IL. We do "S.E.P.U." and their side has "Rock and Roll Destruction Machine" and "Henry Fisher".
Meander over to Beercan Records to pick this one up.
