Iron City Rocks

Y&T; have launched a Kickstarter campaign, and they need your help. The guys finally have an opportunity to make a documentary about Y&T.; Check out the campaign and help make this happen.

Says the band: "From the most modest pledge to the very generous, there’s something for everyone. Choose from DVDs, autographed collectibles, access to sound checks, exclusive meet & greets, and much more. Have a look at the campaign video and then jump in and back us today. Your donation and participation makes you just as much a part of this project. Campaign ends Thursday, February 26th."
