Compound Red

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The year was 1987 and 3 friends from high school decided to buy instruments and start a band in a small town where there were no bands. Fast forward 10 years and thousands of miles later, they were playing SXSW, CMJ and releasing their own music.

In 1999, Compound Red played their last show in their hometown of Milwaukee, WI with Fugazi, Jet's to Brazil & The Promise Ring.
