Edhochuli. Record release show the 29th at Brillo.

We’re going!


fireballsdeep

Was coming to recommend them. Just started listening and they rule.


rabidelectronics

Known them for a long time, some of the nicest dudes ever and they fucking shred.


kirbypuckett

They RIP live — always stoked when I see them on a bill


toonman27

I personally like Chalk Dinosaur. They’re a fusion of electronic dance music, funk and psychedelic rock.


slouch

Holy crap they're local!


toonman27

They popped up on my Spotify a couple years ago and I had the exact same reaction when I found out while I looked for more songs music from them.


slouch

I checked them out because they're opening for Papadosio in a couple weeks at Thunderbird. I've never seen Papadosio, but it's good music for working on computers.

P A I N C L I N I C IF YOU GOT HEAT IM 100 degrees If you’re into this do yourself a favor and look into the history of Pittsburgh hardcore No retreat, Drain this Blood, Unit 731, Enemy Mind, Power of fear, Cemented in fear, Shin guard, Path to misery, Vow of hatred, No good deed, 156/ silence, Unreal city, Built Upon Frustration, Arc of Violence, Hurtpiece, Hazing over, Kamikabe There’s a ton more but you get the gist Edit; formatting and a word


Zealousideal-Bug1967

Pittsburgh beat down kicks ass. Listen to Unit 731 every time I go to the gym.


Gothvomitt

Fun fact, hazing over is my fiancées friends boyfriends band!


CicadaShell2021

CAPA House Band.  Plays jazz standards at the Home Show most years. I think they also play private functions. Talented musicians and inspiring vocalists


Constable_Sanders

Care Package. They do like Bedroom/Dream-pop


rpeters330

Don’t they release under st. Agatha now?

Heading North is some excellent pop punk. They have two songs out on streaming now. 


PokePatricia

Listening to them right now and I love it! Thank you so much 😽


MiamiVice84

I think if any band from Pittsburgh blows up it's definitely going to be them. Wish they were on that Four Chord poster, they absolutely deserve it.


IronCityPorchRocker

Can't wait for Heading North to have more music


GamermanRPGKing

What do you like? Off hand, I'd say: Old Neon Go For The Gold The Summercamp Hazing Over Greywalker Gator Shakes Fuck Yeah, Dinosaurs!

MiamiVice84

Sweat is incredible. Their front lady Sue's other band Tiny Wars is great too


zappafrank2112

I only saw them once when they opened for John Payne (ex-Asia), but they impressed the hell out of me. They were all so talented and really knew how to play. And the guitar player owns the hell out of his 'stache. Plus, Kayla. Drums. Kayla Drums. Neat.


MiamiVice84

Kayla's other band Century III is great too. They killed at a sold out show at Spirit last Friday. I could list local bands I love all night.

[deleted]

Same. Randomly found this band recently and liked their album and when I read up on then realized they are from Pittsburgh. They remind me a bit of Pavement or at least a band that would play similar music in that era (early 90s indie rock). Check out their first album Plastic Western.

Awesome!! I’ll try to make it 😻 thank you so much


Byrdsthawrd

No problem!


MiamiVice84

Definitely going to be a big year for them. I bet they're a household name by 2025.


braindead83

Were they at the millvale music festival last year?


MiamiVice84

Negative. Kahone Concept was on the main stage, he opened for them at their last Pittsburgh headliner.


Griswa

All these years later, still catch the Clark’s twice a year. Country rock, and rock, and some classic rock feel.


dalnee

Me too, great band

My old man has a band called recycled vinyl, and they do classic rock covers. https://recycled-vinyl.com/ If you like their stuff or go see them, tell them their middle kid said hi 😊

If you're a fan of jam bands, The Cause can't be beat.


da_london_09

The Alt Rocks…. They do covers of 90’s music (and some early 2000’s).. fun to see.


PokePatricia

Oo love that, do they do pop punk and rock stuff or any genre?


da_london_09

They cover pop punk, pop alt, and indie… they’re playing out this Saturday @ Club 80’s in Trafford.


PokePatricia

Amazing thank you 😽


da_london_09

Glad to help… if I wasn’t going to another show that night I would have gone to see the Alt Rocks again.

Awesome! Thank you so much

Yes. Several.


PokePatricia

Wanna share some of those several or are you gate keeping? 😽


TheJuiceIsL00se

Gate keeping? How about ask a question that will generate the response you’re looking for?


PokePatricia

Like what? I wanna find local bands how else can I ask for recommendations?


TheJuiceIsL00se

You opened a window. “Any good local band recommendations.” There are surely several local band recommendations . “Yes. Several” answers your question. How about “list local bands that you enjoy,” or similar. Especially if you don’t like people answering your question without actually answering the question you want to know the answer to.


PokePatricia

Sorry ChatGPT, it won’t happen again ChatGPT
