 THE INTERSTATE BATTLE Vol 1 (1991-2000)

 

In the 70's, reading Bomp magazine, i remember Greg Shaw was featuring the bands according to the burgeoning local scenes. L.A, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or New York, It's only a few years later that i remembered this while reading Yellow Pills and a small feature written by Jordan Oakes : "My city's better than yours: Pop Capitol of the Country".

 

So, all these elements lead me to try to expand this "Best City" feature, to an "Interstate Battle of the Power Pop Bands". And the first volume i decided to make is "California vs Illinois" (the 90's). As i wanted a fair and gentle "battle", i asked Curt from PPO to take care of the Illinois State picks.
