The It Men - Greatest Its

The It*Men are a throwback to the glory days of rock, when egomaniacal excess was celebrated and often encouraged. Primarily started as a joke side-project for a tight-knit group of friends and musicians from Cleveland, Ohio, the band provided the soundtrack to many a beer-soaked night before imploding shortly after the release of their debut CD Greatest It's in 2004. In early 2013, the It*Men heeded the call and returned to the studio for the first time in almost a decade. An online campaign was launched to sell the vinyl reissue of Greatest It's, now boasting an extra side of new material. Contributors could also purchase tickets to a benefit concert featuring the It*Men performing with the help of guest vocalists from various Cleveland bands. The resulting show was successful both as a fundraiser and as a form of group catharsis for those in attendance.
