So here's the deal -- right around when ILX went under for a bit, I got an email about this project from the guy behind it, which now has a holding place here:
"This website will be dedicated to maintaining an online record of press releases sent out by underground/DIY bands in years gone by. Some have gone on to achieve international acclaim, others never making it outside their own hometown.
"I started this page because I was basically frustrated at the lack of this kind of material online when it serves as much an important document of a band's influence as their artwork, posters or t-shirts. And for obsessive types like myself, ready access to a band's beginnings in context is much too appealing. Not to mention the fact that some of this shit is downright weird."
So anyway, we're back and all, and I wanted to spread the word on this a bit. Could be fun.
