Pops and the Jerks
San Francisco's Pops and the Jerks force Japanese lo-fi ROCK AND ROLL straight down your throat.
Pops and the JerksBeach Day
Beach Day are based in Hollywood, Florida. The duo consists of Kimmy Drake (guitars/vocals) and Skyler Black (drums). The duo met at a local show and bonded over their love of 60's girl groups and a common desire to be in a band that was purely about fun.
Beach DayThe Clarendon Hills
The most-missed garage-twee group in the history of garage-twee.
The Clarendon HillsDancer
Dancer must have dug up the grave of Johnny Thunders and drank his heroin-infused blood to be this fucking rock and roll. San Francisco's best rock and roll band.
DancerDreamdate
Dreamdate: 3 girls - 300% pop!
Full length CD totally out now. And quit your yappin' about no vinyl, 'cause popsters don't buy that shit!
DreamdateGenuine Parts
Finally, there is a perfect band to listen to in the garage while fixing your '72 Honda CB350. These girls are punks that not even Phil Spector could clean up. Definitely no need to clean the dirt and grease from under your fingernails.
Genuine PartsThe Hondettes
If you were The Mummies and you could choose only one garage rock band play with you for your last show in San Francisco, who would you choose? Congratulations, you chose the Hondettes!
The HondettesThe Hysterians
If you aren't from San Jose, you may not realize how bad you have it. Your town's rock bands all suck. Luckily for those San Jose-ians, they've got the Hysterians to capture that cool 60's vibe and give the kids something to do on a Friday night. Hey guys, I'm having a Rock'n'roll dance party at my house this weekend, wanna come play?
The HysteriansThe Jinxes
LA's last remaining true trash rockers combine Fender fuzz guitar riffs, beat stomping drums, and what looks to be a Farfisa that fell out the back of the Mummy-mobile into a perfect mix of ear shattering noise. These fellas capture the energy of the 60's better than a pair of old AA batteries swiped from a Roky Erickson garage sale.
The JinxesThe Makes Nice
The Makes NiceRamona
The First Royal Garage Rock Band of Spain resides in Seville. They play raw, poppy rock and roll songs that the king listens to after every beheading to lift his spirits back up.
RamonaThe Rantouls
If the year was 1968, Buddah records would have snatched the Rantouls up, released tons of #1 hit singles, and sent Gavin, Lauren and Will around the world charming pre-pubescent teenies wherever they went. Lucky for us, its 40 years later so you can have a pimple-free complexion and also admit that you love great pop songs.
The RantoulsThe Saucy Jacks
The Saucy Jacks are a mod-power-pop sundae, slathered in a rich syrup of 60's British Invasion sounds, sprinkled with fuzzy garage-punk riffs, and topped off with juicy melodies so catchy you'll swear you've heard them before (but you haven't). Bon appetit!
The Saucy JacksScenester Bangs
Zine writer extraordinaire. Okay, someone just got carried away - maybe just a zine writer.
Scenester BangsThe Shrouds
San Francisco's new favorite rock and roll band. Don't ask them to play with your silly art rock band, 'cause they'll probably spit in your face.
The ShroudsSkipper
Power pop power trio from the most powerful state in the union. I've never seen 'em play, so message Briana, Crystal and Brian to tell them its time to start their tour of global domination.
SkipperThe Teutonics
Bavarian Slop Rockers stuck in San Francisco that spend more time chugging, spilling, and throwing "bier" than playing songs. If Germany didn't want them, why would you?
The TeutonicsThe Traditional Fools
Rock'n'roll just the way you like it - dirty! And fast! And raw! These guys are amazing!
Their first 7" is out now!
The Traditional FoolsTy Segall
Ty Segall, taking a break from his day job as the Traditional Fools drummer, lays down his drumsticks and picks up his axe to front a new band that's rockin' parties up and down the left coast.
Ty SegallThe Wolf Riders
Before The Rantouls there were The Wolf Riders, a group fronted by nine year old visionary Alex Miller, who's obsession with Elf Quest inspired the band to form and perform her songs. Sadly The Wolf Riders first practice would be the last. The group disbanded after only one short practice and recording session. Young Alex ventured East while the rest of the group remained West. Out of the ashes of The Wolf Riders came The Rantouls, who formed because they had nothing better to do in between Jerry Days.
The Wolf Riders only known recordings are available as MP3s when you purchase Chug-A-Lug by The Rantouls.
