'Colorado Springs Underground Volume 1 1983-1994' is set to be released on Record Store Day
Even now, at age 56, Stewart, who also played in a band called The Creeps, recalls that time in Colorado Springs music history fondly. That’s why he decided to put together theis set to be released on, Saturday, April 22. Stewart describes it as “a fantastic mix of music that truly defines underground at the time. Punk, goth, ambient, industrial, post-punk and a splash of metal.”
“I’ve been in and out of bands since I was fourteen, so I have tapes of pretty much everything,” he says, adding there’s not much “rhyme or reason” to the initial compilation, but it does include “a lot of memories.” They're all names that aren’t likely to ring a bell for more modern-day fans, but that’s why Stewart is doing this on his own dime. “It’s a nice little piece for people who remember, and it’s a retrospective and window into what was then," he explains."If you missed it, you missed it. As everyone does, they miss something or a part of something, but this is a window looking in to see what it was like then.
A lot of the music displayed in the series came from Stewart’s personal collection, but he also collected whatever he could from former bandmembers who moved away long ago. He jokes that he can’t even recall where some of the tapes he used came from. “If there’s one thing that I can say about the scene in Colorado Springs at that time, it’s that it was incredibly open and friendly, even to newcomers,” Gunn shares, adding that he came to town via the Army when"relations between the military personnel and the local population were somewhat strained” and he didn’t know anyone.
