Various Artists – The Akron Compilation (Stiff Records)
A wild snapshot of America’s post-punk underground, The Akron Compilation (1978) captures the raw, quirky spirit of Ohio’s most unlikely music scene. Released on Stiff Records, this cult classic brings together bands like The Waitresses, Tin Huey, Rachel Sweet, and The Bizarros — all brimming with weird energy, humour, and DIY edge. Mixing new wave, punk, and offbeat pop, it’s a record that proves small-town rebellion could sound just as bold as London or New York. Clean vinyl, killer lineup — an essential time capsule for collectors who dig left-field rock, attitude, and genuine underground history.
