Iron City Houserockers: Have A Good Time (But Get Out Alive)
Robot A. Hull, Creem, September 1980
AS A CITY where the populace chews steel for a living, Pittsburgh is an unlikely birthplace for a significant rock band (the Jaggerz don't count). Heavy-metal dinosaurs excepted, it's not a city actually jumping with rock 'n' roll, probably because its citizenry has to work like dogs just to make ends meet. One cannot be a Soho artist in the Iron City.
