What happens when four of Chicago’s best 80s-style punk bands get together? Hold the Ketchup*, that’s what. Nine songs from Shitizen, 2Minute Minor, Battle Royale, and The Kreutzer Sonata are available on this 4-way split and, best of all, it’s technically free as a name-your-price-download. But you’re no cheapskate, are you? Gonna throw some money at these bands even if you don’t have to, right?
Check it out below and visit the 2Minute Minor or Battle Royale Bandcamp sites to grab copy or hear more of their music. You can also swing by Shitizen and The Kreutzer Sonata‘s Bandcamp for more from their discographies.
*A play on the Chicago abhorrence for putting ketchup on hot dogs. A big no-no in the Windy City.

He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area.
