Iron Cur­tain was a minim­al wave band from Santa Bar­bara, CA, who played re­gular­ly in the Los An­geles un­derground music scene. They were heavi­ly in­fluen­ced by The Cure, OMD, Joy Di­vis­ion, and Kraftwerk. The band re­leased sever­al re­cords in small quan­tit­ies even though they had a great fan base, and hence over the years these re­leases have gained mass cult ap­pe­al which has driv­en the prices of used co­p­ies up into the thousands. After sever­al years of search­ing for Steve Fields (front man for the group), Pylon Re­cords is pleased to bring the en­tire cat­alog into print for the first time on CD. Featured on the CD is the cult clas­sic “The Con­dos”, the goth-club-friendly track “Taran­tula Scream”, and the much-sought-after track “Legal­ize Heroin”, which has a stark re­semblan­ce to My Bloody Valen­tine.
