If you haven't heard of the Los Angeles based band Under the Influence of Giants (UTIOG), you should. They're bringing disco back, but for now I'd like to take a step back to their older days as Home Town Hero. I've talked about the roots of this band in an earlier blog and as I promised I would post their semi-unreleased album Bitch City. They recorded it after their dispute with Maverick, before they officially became UTIOG and before they had any sort of distribution. So they said "fuck it" to the record labels and just put it online for free. That was about five years ago (2004), and I think it's about time it got some recirculation, so I urge everyone to download every track and give it a go. After all...it's free.

Hey! I am a huge fan of home town hero. I have their first album, but cannot find Bitch City anywhere. The links above are broken. Is there any way you could repost it or anything?
