Indie Vinyl

Die Kreuzen's "Die Kreuzen" & "October File" LPs are really meant to be enjoyed on VINYL. These two LPs, 25 and 23 years old respectively, have been unavailable on vinyl for 11+ years, and are important touchstones at the dawn of American Indie Rock. Milwaukee's Die Kreuzen were an unclassifiable and fantastic live band who never sold out to the major labels as their post-hardcore peers (The Replacements, X, Sonic Youth) did, and stuck with the mighty Touch & Go Records label. This band was clearly five years head of their time when these were recorded, especially when considering the Seattle Grunge scene of the late 1980s. Touch & Go reissued these on LP late last year, they include mp3 coupons, and are less expensive than almost anything else out there.
