Illegal Art hiatus

Illegal Art is on indefinite hiatus.  

This change in status is not due to any legal issues, and we are still committed to fighting any legal battles over our 15-year catalog of releases.  

All active artists will continue to release material, just through other channels. 

Our site will remain online and we're working to add older releases until the entire catalog is available.

Happy 15th Anniversary!

Today we are offering up something a little different for Back-Track Tuesday. "Too Much Anthrax" is a selection from the politically charged audio-collage B'o'k album, Afraid of Enduring Freedom.

includes People Like Us and Ergo Phizmiz's The Keystone Cutups: "Perhaps my overall highlight of 2012."
