Yup. This is great. These 3 guys played up a storm. Great musicianship and just plain old excellent hardcore for a 3 piece. "Mad House" was a great song. I think Hell Hole radio show on WSOU used that as a station ID at one point.

I discovered them.

FOD are killer. I don’t think they’ve ever broken up?? I remember them doing new shit through the 80’s and 90’s and upward as if they had always been playing. Another PA band that seems eternal is the Clap. They’re going to open for 999 in my city in October. Remember them still plugging away beyond the 90’s.

Not a big fan, but as far as that record goes, it's all about "Guimo's Theme." That song rules.

The Clap? I thought I was the only one who brought them up on here as they are from my hometown. Been seeing them play since I was about 10.

That's my favorite song on the album.

On an old VHS tape?

N.O.T.A. LP (Rabid Cat Records)

Worship this LP and still listen probably once a week. Very underrated.

a stone cold killer EP from the 90’s that must be heard is the Nihilistics - Inferno 7”.

Submachine were great. So we're Aus Rotten. Serpico played with them in Pittsburgh. Excellent stuff like good Discharge

On the tour I played with them on, Ajax from Aus Rotten played second guitar. He was seriously one of the funniest people I've ever met (except when he almost tried to shave off my eyebrows while I was sleeping...well - OK - maybe that was pretty funny).

Pittsburgh definitely has a great punk rock history.

Submachine is still kickin' and rippin'.

Greg is still a beast and I can't believe he uses those damn tree trunk sticks.

They toured and played down here May 2019.

Jeff's still on guitar.

You must know my unofficial big brother Howie Wells. From P-Burg and played in Half Life and a bunch of other bands. He's been down here for about 30 years.
