American Noise Vol. 2 / Various

American Noise Vol. 2 is an eagerly - awaited limited - edition vinyl soundtrack for The Smart Studios Story. This documentary reveals the history of Madison, Wisconsin's Smart Studios and its key role in the DIY/independent music scene of the Midwest. The award - winning film chronicles three decades of Midwest rock history, connecting early indie bands to the broader American rock narrative.While American Noise Vol 1 presented Butch Vig's earliest recordings of local unsigned bands, Vol 2 features artists from other US music scenes who recorded at the studio from 1987 to 1993. This period saw producers Butch Vig and Steve Marker gain fame. They transformed local bands' raw sounds into polished analog recordings. Their early work, especially with Killdozer and Die Kreuzen, caught the eye of well - known indie labels through touring bands, college radio, and The Sub Pop Singles Club.After Nirvana's Nevermind, Vig and the studio got a huge amount of attention. Many artists flocked to record in the old red - brick building on East Washington Avenue. All tracks on American Noise Vol. 2 are from this golden era, covering a wide range of musical styles from pop to heavy rock, just as Smart Studios was known for.
