The folks at Bridge 9 Records have been hard at work compiling together a comprehensive book documenting Boston’s xXx Fanzine. The book will feature interviews and with Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, Circle Jerks/OFF! frontman Keith Morris, Youth Brigade’s Shawn Stern, to name a few, and will also feature a companion soundtrack with contemporary bands and artists covering songs that were originally recorded during the hardcore zine’s heyday. Bands set to appear on the companion album include Strife, Done Dying, BoySetsFire, Enabler, Aeges, Gallows, Krum Bums and I Am Heresy.
An official release date for the project and track list for the album have yet to be announced, but stay tuned as we’ll keep you updated once that information becomes available. You can also follow the project through the xXx zine’s Facebook page.
