In Springfield during the early 2000’s, there used to be a group of hardcore kids that formed a group to make a zine called “Know No Boundaries“. This zine featured band and album reviews, articles, interviews and news. In December of 2000, they put out a comp album of songs from bands both dead and alive to keep the musical culture in the scene circulating. Old Springfield bands like The Goofs, Ingot, Fagalonius P. Hector, Park, N.I.L.8 and the Timmys were featured. This comp album is titled 217 represent and thanks to our good friend behind the Springfield blog Some Things Can’t Be Ignored (bringing us oldskool tunes on the monthly), this whole album is completely accessible for us to listen to here in 2014. So if you love the 90’s as much as you say you do, definitely give it a listen.

Check out the full article here, you can catch a cool interview from one of the makers of Know No Boundaries and 217 Represent. To see other posts about Some Things Can’t Be Ignored, check out the rest of the blog as well as other Black Sheep website posts.
