Founded in 1979 by guitar-store owner Carl Grefenstette, Bogus Records jumped into the national market’ with one of the country’s first hometown series,Made In Pittsburgh, Vol. 1. Grefenstette’s primary motivation was to put his favorite local bands on vinyl so that he wouldn’t have to keep re-threading his reel-to-reel tape machine. Unknowingly at the forefront of the local compilation scene, Grefenstette and Bogus were featured in Billboard and other magazines.

Bogus has been embracing generations of new acts ever since.
