UNDERGROUND MEDICINE
Last update 29 August, 2010
The 2nd press of The Gaggers-You Fix Me Up available now on white vinyl with two different sleeves! While you’re at it; if you can, take 2 minutes 13 seconds away from your Hozac singles club and other various “young men with beards” records and check out something once known as Punk Rock. I’m not bitter, I just like RocknRoll.
VEINES, DISSUADERS, & C.I.A. lp’s in stock. Check the bottom of the page.
Ever wonder what happened to the great Hostage Records label? I sure did and now I know. They have a really cool podcast Surf And Destroy Radio
Just when you think you know it all, you learn something new. I’ve been a Runaways/Joan Jett and Blondie fanatic forever. I got all the records, bootlegs, books etc. Oddly, I don’t have much interest in The Runaways movie, but I’ll see it eventually. Anyway, the other day I’m trolling around you tube and find something I never even knew existed. I stubble upon a holy grail of sorts without even searching for it! Blondie covers The Runaways in 1977! It’s a pretty great version. Debbie's vocal sounds great and Clem is just insane. Well I guess there must be a Blondie boot out there that I need. The hunt continues...
Remember, new records are added weekly, as we get them, not in a single update like the old days...
NEW SHIT! : seven inches
4.50 Broken Bottles

4.00 Dagger Dicks
Sharp For You/Razor Sharp Love (Meaty Beaty) I couldn’t find a myspace page for them, but for some strange reason they sound almost exactly like The Gaggers, Botox Rats, Shanghai Wires, & Disco Lepers-only with a slight bit of powerpop injected. I do mean slight. Lime green vinyl.
4.50 Gaggers

A change of style on this one? Fuck No!
3 more puke-driven cuts! Great backing vocals, catchy as all get-out!
5.00 Gestapo Khazi
Escalators/The Atomic Kind (Eradicator) Excellent, quick paced, catchy a-side with with a slightly moodier b-side. They've probably listened to a good bit of Brit post-punk, but it's not dark or brooding at all. From Long Beach, CA.
4.00 Jolts
Kaminari Lover/Loser (Baby I’m A) (Meaty Beaty) Garagey RnR punk from Canada. Another hit for Meaty Beaty!
4.25 Jons
Walk Towards The People/Grass On The Wicket (Meaty Beaty) The sons of CockSParrer! Literally. A couple of these lads Dad’s are in that legendary band. Perhaps not your typical Meaty Beaty release.

7.00 JunK
Glad To See You’re Back... ep (Bad Idea) O.C. Beach Punk Rules!!! Costa Mesa’s The JunK are 3 members of the Smut Peddlers, so that should tell you exactly what you’re getting. This is their 3-song debut. Only 150 copies on colored vinyl with lyric insert, sticker, and a 2” badge.

4.50 Sexmachines
Ready, Steady, Go!/School’s Out Forever (Sexmachines) This single is from 2005 and it’s the first we’ve seen of it. Too bad, cause this is realy good speedy super-melodic punk. I'm guessing they were a short-lived band formed from the ashes of the terrific Vanilla Muffins. Apparently this was their 2nd single, the catalog number is SM#02. Both songs are originals.
5.00 Shannon and the Clams
Paddy’s Birthday/Diary: Jimmy (Southpaw) Some very authentic early 60’s girl style songs with a modern touch.

13.00 Horribly Wrong - LP
C’mon And Bleed With The Horribly Wrong (Eradicator) BACK IN STOCK!!! I haven’t heard an album like this in a looooong time. It doesn’t sound dated, but it easily could have come out on Rip Off Records in the nineties. One killer song after another!

the Rip Offs to give you an idea what they’re like. 16 mid/fast tempo songs mostly sung in French. Includes members of Flaschen and others. NOTE:The covers got a bit bashed up in shipping. Not terrible, but far from perfect. The vinyl is unscathed.
6.00 Young People With Faces - LP
S/T (Rapid Pulse) We’re so pumped for this record! 3 teenage chicks and one teenage dude from Idaho kick out the raw punkrock like it’s L.A. 1978! Besides sound that kicks ass over the cd version, this includes the non-cd bonus killer “I Didn’t Die!” 13 originals and a Rezillos cover. Great cover art! Check out their Cherry Blossom Clinic session. Buy together with the Sleazies lp for $10 + postage.
