* PREORDER * v/a- WE WERE LIVING IN CINCINNATI Vol. 2: Punk And Underground Sounds From Ohio's Queen City (1982-1988) LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive late June

Limited edition of 500 copies. Includes huge poster insert.

Highly recommended.

Compiled by Peter Aaron (Chrome Cranks) as with the first volume in 2019, its an unearthed deep look into Queen City punk under the microscope and filled with interesting chunks of that magical Midwest oddness.

Its finally here, the anxiously-awaited second volume of Queen City punk underground history, and with an incredible array of wild noise from the farthest reaches of punk and new wave nomenclature.

Veering deep into sub-obscure 7" and demo tracks of post-punk, power pop, hardcore, DIY noise, and spiky new wave, WWLICV2 is a testament to such a fertile scene in such a fertile state. Ohio - the true Mesopotamia of punk, really.

Capturing the second wave punk era, up to right before grunge entered the bloodstream of
America, when loose boundaries of styles enmeshed into new genres, and a freedom of direction meant punk had a mutation schedule to keep up with.

Cincinnati may not have been huge but easy access to self-releasing 7" singes and cheap recording setups kept the city humming in productivity, as this pummeling second helping with a whopping TWENTY EIGHT bonus download tracks can attest.
