VARIOUS ARTISTS “Hair: Chicago Punk Cuts” CD

Do you remember when compilation CDs were sought after? Maybe you don’t, but I do. I devoured any new compilation I could find as I would always hear a new band I hadn’t yet heard and get stoked about picking up some new music. Those days for the most part are gone, but lucky for us, Thick Records are still making an effort to showcase and highlight new, exciting artists. Thick has close ties to their hometown scene of Chicago, Illinois and have always done an incredible job of documenting the musical landscape. “Hair” follows other compilations they have put out that are reasonably priced, full of unreleased songs, and showcasing a diverse musical scene. Artists include Much the Same, Allister, The Killing Tree, The Bomb, Split Habit, Ryan’s Hope, Collosal, and much more.
