Episode 008: IRS Records

This episode, we’re doing something a little different, taking a look at the history of the record company International Record Syndicate, or IRS Records, one of the best record labels of the 80s. Yes, we still talk about movies, one from 1982 that features live performances by some of the best punk and new wave bands from England and the US.

This episode takes a slight left turn, as we focus on a 1980s record label instead of a filmmaker or a distributor. But that doesn’t mean we don’t talk movies at all. Amongst the topics covered this week is one of the best pure concert movies of all time, 1982’s Urgh! A Music War.
