V/A - Welcome To Pittsburgh... Don't Move Here

Location: Pittsburgh, PA

Release: Cruel Noise Records, 2021

Yo check out this killer compilation that came out last year which I became aware just recently while visiting NO TIME's bandcamp. Welcome To Pittsburgh is one of those cool still photographies in form of a musical compilation, showcasing some of the best punk acts of a specific location and time. Also nothing like an off-the-radar compilation to get to know more bands, 2/3 were new to me here and the ones I already knew (i.e. Loose Nukes, S.L.I.P. and Heavy Discipline) were convincing enough for me to go after the whole LP.

Physical copies of this comp are nowhere to be found any longer, a second press would be more than welcome. All 14 tracks are supposedly exclusive to this release but the NO TIME track was also featured in their rare 2017 Tour Tape. Also HEAVY DISCIPLINE is back with a new frills-free 2022 promo.... and in case you missed, Sorry State Records did a similar thing with the North Carolina scene back in 2019 with the comp American Iddlys and just recently Feral Kid Records covered up the Hattiesburg (MS) scene in Big Big Wave, both filled with obscure local punk acts.
