5 song EP featuring OFRs last songs. It was a sad day to learn that the ONION FLAVORED RINGS folks were all moving to different citys (Aside from Steve who's staying put). And thus the creative output will now be on hiatus. But before spliting ways, the fellows made it to the recording studio one last time to record the new songs they had been working on. And let me tell you, they are brilliant. Just exactly what you'd expect for these guys; melodic and slightly dark pop songs that are totally catchy. Dirty Bay Area pop punk at its best.
Songs For Moms
"I used to Believe in the West" LP
Songs For Moms - I Used To Believe In the West LP $9.00 (postage paid)
Songs For Moms 2nd full length LP. All-girl San Francisco/Bay Area trio that creates an incredibly tuneful sound that feels like a combination of Loretta Lynn and Patti Smith. Over laying rock, punk and country; they cross back and forth between bouncy bittersweet melodies and raw aggression, yet always staying poetic and beautiful. Limited edition hand screened covers limited to first 500.
Sexy - Por Vida LP
Sexy - Por Vida LP $9.00 (postage paid)
Brilliant pop music meets drunken D.I.Y. punk rock. At first listen it may sound sloppy and noisy but somehow the tunes get totally stuck in your head. Upon further listening you'll realize that Sexy are pure rock geniuses. Lyrics that are heartbreaking, hilarious, and dare I say, poetic -- sung and played by the bafflingly talented duo of Ashley Krey (of Future Virgins) on guitar, and Chris Kohler (ex-Dory Tourette and the Skirtheads) on drums. This record was originally put out by Onion Flavored Records years ago, and has been out of print for ages. I many times argued the opinion that this record is the best LP to come out in the last ten years, and I still hold by that to this day. Which is why I went though all the effort of putting this out again. This is a total classic! Essential! (side note: The record has been remasted so don't worry about it skip like many of the orginals)
Surrender - Paper Thrones LP
Surrender - Paper Thrones LP $9.00 (postage paid)
The long anticipated full length LP from the Bay Area's peace-punk band SURRENDER. Thirteen songs of mid-tempo, early 80's UK anarcho punk. Very reminiscent of CRASS and early CHUMBAWAMBA. Smart, and very well thought out political lyrics, sung in duel male/female, and almost poetic at times. A bit more melodic at times than the stereotypical peace-punk, and even laced with hints of riot grrrl. Altogether making their sound deeply enriched in old-style UK anarcho peace punk, and totally original at the same time.
Black Rainbow - Self Titled 7"
Black Rainbow - Self Titled 7" $5.00 (postage paid)
The latest project in a long line of amazing bands coming from the collaboration of Ivy and Erick (Allergic To Bullshit, Miami...). Black Rainbow picks up right where they left off after the demise of Allergic To Bullshit, yet is still distinctly original and unique from their previous works, this time bringing along fellow rockers Morgan and Garritt. High speed energetic tunes with relevant, insightful lyrics that will get you dancing for sure. This 7" comes with 20 page zine created by the band!
The long awaited Shotwell - Patriot LP/CD is finally here. After several years in the making this 19 song epic full length album has finally been properly released in it's entirety. If you got a tape or burned CD of Shotwell's Patriot a year or two back, that was only about half of the album. Now its finally all together, mastered and featuring some fucking amazing artwork. Not everyone will agree with me, but I truly think Shotwell is the best band playing in the bay area right now, and this album completely does them justice. I couldn't be more happy with a record we've put out!
All new 7 song concept 7" album from the Bay Area's long standing punk rockers. The poppy underground DIY punk's answer to Devo. Fucking great! A bit more rough and harder rocking than their "Two Minute Enlightenment" recordings but still unmistakably OFR. Similar to the songs from the 2007 tour tape, all rerecorded and sounding amazing! Always really liked OFR but I'm really stoked on the direction their new song writing is going. This 7" is OFR's Zen Arcade!
Love Songs - Hot Buns - 7"
$5.00 (Postage Paid!)
7" Single featuring 2 new amazing songs from Bay Area's Love Songs. How many dick and fart jokes can you handle? The album cover should explain where this is going. When you listen to this be sure to wear some pants you don't like all that much, cause they are getting thoroughly peed in from the shear awesomeness of these songs. I'm not joking.
The Reaction/Neverending Party - Split 7"
$5.00 (postpaid)
Featuring the first songs written by both band's this split includes
an 8 page booklet and is on red vinyl! The Reaction are one of the
best new Bay Area bands to arrive in years, playing straight-up rock
n' roll with a bit of 60's English Mod influence. Neverending Party
has an as original rock sound with influences ranging from CCR to The
Replacements and back to The Kinks. The Reaction features Wade of
50 Million and Neverending Party features Nate of Bent Outta Shape.
Both bands share an urgent sound and a love for all things rock.
it's simple... buy this record for it's well-written songs!
You won't be sorry, kid!
Robocop 3 - If The Door Is Locked... 7"
Out of Print
Hey Girl! - Spill Your Guts! LP
$7.50 (postpaid)
First LP by this all girl Bay Area punk band. Their music is in the school of Bikini Kill, early lookout, Raooul kind of stuff. Totally manic vocal and shredding guitar. 10 songs, all classic, this album is the jam!
The Four Eyes -
Five Songs About Videogames... - CD EP - $6.00 (Postage Paid!)
Pure-fun, geek-driven pop punk with echoes of THE MUMMIES and THE BANANAS. Includes 5 songs about online videogames and one about Dylan MaKay (the heart-throb from 90210). All songs super funny and catchy. For fans of THE ERGS and World of Warcraft.
Fleshies - The Baby LP
Out of Print
Dory Tourette and The Skirtheads - Rock Immortal LP $9.00 (postage paid).
The best album you've never heard! Seriously! Truly original style of songwriting. The album transitions from trashy HICKEY-style punk to country (not in the bad way) and then back again over and over. All of it a heavy Buddy Holly vibe. Written and preformed in a speed addled delirium and then recorded by none other than the late Matty Luv himself.
Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits -
Carmelita Sings! Visions of A Rock Apocalypse - CD
$8.00 (Postage Paid!)
Released in 2000 on S.P.A.M. Records, right as the band was breaking up, this reissue contains unreleased tracks from the same sessions and expanded liner notes. Features such BJE hits as "Liver Lover", "Mr. Abuse", "Money For Books", "You Don't Have To Die Alone" and the previously unreleased favorites, "Cuhl-Aide Mahn" and "She Ain't No Crip"!!
