AWESOME shop in Polish Hill owned by a real dude who is just happy to live his dream of sharing kick ass punk/indie/metal/experimental with the masses. Pittsburgh has a lot of charm- cheap rent, tons of open urban landscapes for creative people, and a good music scene- and Cruel Noise adds to this positive vibe.
You will get lost in the seven inch collection. There are hundreds and hundreds of first run punk 7s from the golden ages. I think I bought 4 Conflict 7s to round out the whole collection. Good prices- definitely comparable or lower than what you'd find on the Discogs marketplace.
After talking to my Pburgh friends and telling them I checked out CN, they were super hip on how the owner is a super nice guy and very supportive of the city's music and art scenes. That's super bad ass.
Also- STORE DOG. Demon is AMAZING! This is what life should be.
