Gothic Socks
Description: After being banned from all the major clubs in their hometown of Washington, DC, Bad Brains moved to New York City in 1981 and recorded their first album at 171-A. "Bad Brains" (also known as The Yellow Tape) is the debut studio album recorded by American hardcore punk/reggae band Bad Brains. Recorded in 1981 and released on cassette-only on February 5, 1982, many fans refer to it as "The Yellow Tape" because of its yellow packaging. Though Bad Brains had recorded the 16 song Black Dots album in 1979 and the 5-song Omega Sessions EP in 1980, the yellow cassette was the band's actual first release. The cover art depicts DC's Capitol Building being struck by a bolt of lightning, an obvious homage to their DC roots.
Description: Skipper Richard Wallace is the gift that keeps on giving. Last year, we did a bunch of art for a Kickstarter game, and we had a lot of pieces left over. We're going to start uploading them so you can have some fun with them. This little beauty is going straight onto a black t-shirt, and also a car sticker for me.

Description: Wherever there is a great triumph, there is usually even greater tragedy. Such is the case with the Los Angeles hardcore-punk outfit known as the Germs, who, in four short years, lived dangerously, playing fast, brash rock 'n' roll with a much dirtier and nastier edge than their contemporaries; an edge that would prove to be sharp and deadly for the bands' confused and drug addicted lead singer. They only released a single studio album in 1979, but it was a banger stuffed with 17 songs dripping with aggression, despair, and pure rage. Titled (GI), the all-black cover with an enigmatic blue circle design echoed the Germs' stripped-down aesthetic perfectly and would be synonymous with the band until their untimely undoing in 1980.
Description: Released in 1981, Fire of Love is the debut record of the American rock band The Gun Club. The album is considered groundbreaking in being the first of its kind to combine the hard, stripped-down sound of punk rock with American roots music. In turn, this innovation helped to create the punk blues style as well as inspiring countless garage rock musicians, with many more citing Fire of Love as an influence and one of their all-time favorite records.
Description: Tacoma, Washington's finest rock band. Released multiple records for Sub Pop in the early 90s, signed with Hollywood Records and released one of 1995's best albums (who am I kidding, one of the decade's best albums) "Spanaway."
