about

To celebrate the New Year as well as continuing to celebrate 25 years of making bad decisions, here's a little something from the ol' Jump Start way back machine...

Back in 2001 I was living in State College, Pennsylvania, 3 years removed from graduating college and living the dream playing in a notoriously fun punk-ska band called No On 15. Jump Start was only five years removed from its first release, but I'd like to think I was finally getting my sea legs under me when I decided to reach out to other Pennsylvania punk bands about participating in a PA band only comp. At the time Pittsburgh and Philadelphia had well established scenes, but there were also a lot of great bands playing throughout the state. No On 15 was lucky enough to have played with almost all the bands that eventually ended up on this comp. The only problem was that by the time I had the artwork and all the audio ready, a half dozen bands on the comp had broken up.

Bummer.

Fast forward two more years and I've now updated the comp with new bands to replace the ones that had broken up. But again, same as before, by the time all the tracks were compiled and the artwork was updated several of the bands again broke up putting me back at square one.

Well, it's 2022. The last two years have been a total shitshow. Let's get weird.

Here's this long, lost compilation of 24 Pennsylvania punk/emo/whatever bands from over 20 years ago. It's not a complete picture by any means, as you'll notice an apparent lack of bands from the Philly scene at the time, but that makes sense considering this was a snapshot of the Pennsylvania scene at large in 2001 as seen by and through me and my travels playing every and each corner of the state.

FUCK THE EAST BAY... WE'RE FROM PA!

I want to point out that I have nothing but love for East Bay punk. If it weren't for Lookout! Records and bands like Op Ivy, Dance Hall Crashers, and Green Day there's a chance this label would never exist.

The name of the comp was merely a tongue in cheek way of saying "Hey, that stuff is cool, but we're doing cool shit too." So much attention was being directed at bands from the East Bay scene, and California at large at the time as well I just felt like people should know about all the fun and crazy shit going down in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. I think this original tracking of the compilation does a great job of showing you what the scene across the state was like. Ken Adams, or better know as K3N from the Victory Records Victory Style comps, delivered some equally awesome yet ridiculous artwork.
