Henry Rollins Clarifies That Music Project with Ian MacKaye Features Neither of Them

"Before anything else, I think I need to clear something up. Last week I told you that I went up to DC and mixed some tracks with Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios in beautiful Arlington, VA. The tracks we mixed were not a collaborative effort, besides the mixing itself. I am not on the tape. Ian is not on the tape. Neither of us are on the tape. What we were working on was a demo, recorded in 1979,"

"by a legendary Punk band that recently came into my possession. I had the tape baked and transferred by the very capable Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville and had him send the tracks to Ian so he could take them to Inner Ear and get them loaded in. The mix came together quite quickly because it was only eight tracks on one inch tape and the quality of the sounds were so good out of the gate, very little had to be done."

Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye traveled to Inner Ear Studios to mix an unearthed 1979 demo by a legendary punk band. Neither Rollins nor MacKaye performed on the recordings; their involvement was limited to mixing. The original tape was a one-inch, eight-track reel that was baked and transferred by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville. The transferred files were loaded at Inner Ear and mixed quickly because the raw sound quality and performances were strong. Rollins and MacKaye reviewed the mixes repeatedly and exchanged notes while finalizing the session. The source band remains unnamed in the material provided.
