Chicago punk label Red Scare Industries has put together a special compilation of songs of current artists and alumni to celebrate their 20th anniversary. '20 Years Of Dreaming And Scheming' features brand new tracks from The Menzingers, Laura Jane Grace, Dead To Me, The Falcon, Cobra Skulls, The Holy Mess, Nothington, No Trigger, Sam Russo, Sludgeworth, The Brokedowns, The Bollweevils, Elway, The Lippies, and more out on Friday, September 6 (pre-order). Today, The Menzingers are happy share their new video for their track "Second City."

"We spent a lot of time in Chicago during the formative years of the band, so when asked to contribute a song for Red Scare’s 20th anniversary, it felt right to pay homage to that era," says The Menzingers vocalist/guitarist Greg Barnett. “Second City” is about a time and place that feels impossible to recreate now, and maybe that’s why I hold it so close to my heart.  Chicago has been like a second home, so it felt pretty natural to write about."
