Outside of bootleg compilation appearances and the overpriced collectors' market, the music of Dow Jones and the Industrials has been unavailable for 35 years until now. Can't Stand The Midwest 1979-1981 includes 29 songs remastered from the original tapes: The Industrials' side from Hoosier Hysteria, the rare 1980 split LP with the Gizmos; 1981 7-inch EP; 9 unreleased studio tracks; live versions of unrecorded songs and more. A 12-page booklet features liner notes by the Gizmos' Dale Lawrence and Keith Smith's never before seen Indiana punk scene photos.
