Guided By Voices – “The Official Ironmen Rally Song” [Video Classic]

July 11, 2021October 30, 2015 by Fire Note Staff

After premiering another track today from Suitcase 4 it only seemed appropriate to reach back into the GBV video catalog for a classic. “The Official Ironmen Rally Song” had its own EP release in February of 1996 and then was included on the great record, Under The Bushes Under The Stars which was released the following month.

I have always liked this video because of its mini history of the group through pictures. Enjoy and salute!
