Sub Pop 200

Sub Pop 200 is a 1988 compilation assembled by the Seattle-based label Sub Pop that documents the late 1980s Pacific Northwest underground rock scene. The collection mixes alternative and garage rock with folk-tinged songwriting and heavier, raw grunge textures, often presented in lo-fi, rough-hewn recordings. As a snapshot of emerging local acts it highlights the label's early aesthetic and the crosscurrents between punk, garage, folk and heavier guitar-driven sounds.
