Back in June, Duped Zine shared a compilation titled The Fourteen Bears in Summer and Winter. Operating out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, an area that has not gone unnoticed these past years in the world of independent music, Duped has always carved their own path of pop-centric, enduring and incredibly heartfelt musical contributions.

Playing a key role in the Big Pop Show the past two years, Duped continues to showcase some of the best artists out there. Although not all from NC, this comp focuses on the connected spirit of collaboration, friendship and fandom. Put together by the members of the band Little Chair, the comp includes artists such as The Matildas, Entrez Vouz, David T, K9, Sleep Tight Tiger, The Laughing Chimes, Sacred Heart Academy, Hill View #73, The Sourdrops, Deerest Friends, Little Chair, and more!
