Maximum ArtPunk'n'Roll from the wrong side of the river 1979-1983! Max Load was a band from Belleville, IL, which is just across the Mississippi from St. Louis. They released one single in 1979 on their own 198X Records during their existence. It's considered by many to be a Midwestern Punk classic, and it's been bootlegged on the Killed By Death compilation series. This release collects the X-Rod 7", 1980 studio demos, 1981-1983 4 track demos and a couple more studio demos from 1981 & 1983. All but the two songs from the single are previously unreleased. The release is an LP + CD + DVD. The LP has the first fourteen tracks, and the CD contains all 24 tracks. It also comes with a DVD which is a 20 song live set broadcast on cable access TV in 1981. The band plays several songs on the DVD that are not on the LP/CD. An 11"x17" insert is included which features liner notes by band leader Terry Jones as well as several previously unpublished photos and gig posters.
