V/A- American Noise Vol. 2 LP.  American Noise Vol. 2 is the anticipated second vinyl release soundtrack companion to The Smart Studios Story, a groundbreaking documentary about the history of Madison, Wisconsin's Smart Studios. This critically acclaimed film chronicles thirty years of Midwest rock history and links early indie bands to the larger story of American rock history. While American Noise: Vol 1 shared the earliest local Butch Vig recordings, Vol 2 includes artists who traveled from across the country to record at the fledgling two-story red brick building on East Washington Avenue studio between 1987 and 1993. All of the tracks on American Noise Vol. 2 come out of this period including songs from Tad, Cherubs, Laughing Hyenas, Die Kreuzen, Killdozer, Crucifucks, Cosmic Psychos, Young Fresh Fellows, The Fluid, Gumball, Urge Overkill and the Singing Irishman.
