The Silver Sprocket debut from East-Bay forrest-punks TORNADO RIDER! Reminding me of the excitement after discovering Gogol Bordello or Bérurier Noir, completely insane and fun energy fusing shredding cellos with thunderous bass and drums with nods of inspiration to AC/DC and even Priums (Dear Punx: Not sorry, trust us).

More pictures and details are coming soon, but trust me, this is one seriously rips and will last as an album of true importance.

We printed 50 of these, $10 each.”Boys” shirts are Gildan Heavy 100% cotton, “Girls” shirts are Bella 98% cotton 2% spandex. Steph says these are her favorite girls-fit shirts, a bit longer and better fitting than most, so you should like them. Or blame Steph.
Don’t get the joke? Ask a crusty.

Each Gooberry has been freshly picked from a secret Gooberry Patch before ripening just for you! Like a newborn’s skull, their soft skin has yet to be fully formed, so a Gooberry is very impressionable and extra-sensitive to your each and every touch! DO NOT pull a Gooberry’s string, as each pull, although wholly satisfying to you, brings the Gooberry that much closer to a most painful death. Measuring 12.5 inches tall, the Gooberry squeaks in pain when you squeeze her pinchers, and cowers in fear from your every snuggle. Truely an interactive experience, the Gooberry is the first designer plush to feature a pull-string sound box and squeakers! THE GOOBERRY IS NOT A TOY. This is an art collectable and not intended for anyone age 15 or younger.

SILVER 017

This EP was Filth’ debut to the punk rock circuit, originally released by Lookout in 1990 and now re-issued by Silver Sprocket with a pressing of 500 on green wax. 4 punk anthems for dysfunctional kids and adults alike… reminding you to keep your mohawk above water, outta the clouds, and off of the fuckin postcards. This EP is adorned with artwork by Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy. Members of Filth went on to play in Fields Of Shit, Dogma Mundista and Strychnine.

SILVER 012

The debut from Berkeley’s most hated band BLATZ. Anyone who was around to witness these fucks in action would definitely recall flying spit, trash, phlegm, puke, and snotty fucks tormenting the crowd and their band members alike. A whole slew of misfit degenerate punks composed the collective soul of this band which was held together by duct tape and keep alive by beer, tobacco, caffeine and other mind altering substances. 3 singers (2 female, one snotty pants male) made it easy to not only sing but to start some shit with the crowd and the other member of the band. The two chicks invade, hellbent on turning the whole freakshow into a Frank Sinatra lounge act. Then the silly snotty pants protest waving anarchist convention dropout whines and withers naked or in his BVD’s. Then you have a graveyard shift working DJ trying to figure out BLATZ bass lines (WHY?) and a young guitarist waving 25 cents rags of protest, local gossip, overused art and misspellings at you every gig they played. Add your smooth character drummer and you’ve got the finest fucked up punk mess you can imagine. Members of BLATZ later went on to form THE CRIMINALS, CYPHER IN THE SNOW and DEAD and GONE, as well as keeping the infamous zine ABSOLUTELY ZIPPO in production. Limited pressing of 550 on rotten beer colored vinyl!

SILVER 011

The debut releases from The Hard Girls (featuring Max and Morgan from Pteradon and Mike from Shinobu) and The Albert Square (featuring Sim from Short Round). With influences ranging from Jawbreaker, The Weakerthans, Neutral Milk Hotel and Elvis Costello, these are two of the most exciting up-and-coming bands right now from the San Jose scene, with a pedigree of Asian Man Records and Springman Records bands in the member’s histories. Five tracks from each band, with a huge fold-out insert, packed Plan-It-Ex style in a polybag instead of jewel-case. All three members of The Hard Girls are in Classics Of Love with Jesse Michaels (Operation Ivy).

Inspired by BLATZ, OPERATION IVY and other bands to come out of the East Bay’s 924 Gilman Street scene in the 80’s and 90’s, Santa Rosa co-ed crusties ASHTRAY present the quintessential drunk-punk party record, The Power of Positive Drinking, featuring fourteen high-energy beer-soaked anthems. Recorded by Andy “Andro” Ernst at The Art Of Ears, this album includes live favorites like S.S.B.C., Call The Cops and Favorite Things, plus a bonus unlisted track that is quite possibly the most adorable love song to ever come from the genre. Comes with a cigarette inside the jewel-case.

SILVER 009

This split 7″ between The New Trust and Pteradon has two brand new exclusive tracks from each band. The New Trust, featuring Josh Staples formerly of The Velvet Teen and Edaline, plays unpretentious, fired-up indie-rock songs that bring to mind my favorite elements of the mid-’90s heyday (think Boilermaker, Knapsack and early Promise Ring), are catchy as all get-out, and rarely reach the three-minute mark. Pteradon, featuring Max and Morgan from Hard Girls and Jesse Michaels’ Classics Of Love, play grinding indie-punk reminiscent of early Jawbreaker and The Lawrence Arms, tearing up your throat sing-a-long anthems.
Pteradon knew they were breaking up before this record went to press and said it would be ok if I didn’t want to put it out, but having heard the songs, I told them to fuck right off with their ney-saying, I’d be putting out this steller EP regardless.Limited pressing of 500 on white wax with stunning full-color double-sided jackets with photography by Sara Sanger and design by Josh Staples.

SILVER 008

Punk-rock culture has a rich, longstanding tradition of anger, nihilism, and good old-fashioned suburban teenage angst, and no one is more headstrong and humorless about punk rock than the punks themselves. Enter Nothing Nice to Say. Mitch Clem’s Nothing Nice to Say leaves no mohawked, leather-jacket-clad stone unturned in its mission to expose the awesomeness and the absurdity of punk culture. Sometimes esoteric and always hilarious, Nothing Nice is so punk you’ll think the book was bound with safety pins.

Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem wasn’t in this version of the band, but its great anyway. Lanemeyer and Day At The Fair were super fucking rad, not even a guilty pleasure, emo-core punk for sure but I still sing at the top of my lungs with headphones on the bus and don’t give a fuck. 5 songs in 21 minutes. These are left-over from the Springman Records days, a really neat looking digi-pack with custom colors, no two looking exactly the same. NJPP!

These are left-over from the Springman Records days from when people bought CDs! The entire Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack as performed by bands like Alkaline Trio, Pansy Division, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Swingin Utters, The Phenomenauts, Tsunami Bomb, The Ataris, Big D And The Kids Table, The Independents, Groovie Ghoulies and more. All 19 songs. Rad packaging with artwork by comic book artist Steve Rolston.
