***"There’s a reason you can’t buy the original version of this LP for under $1,000. No one wants to part with their copy. Originally released in 1995, only 500 copies were made. And in the Bay Area alone, there’s probably 500 people who consider HICKEY their favorite band of all time (me included). And some of the people I’ve met who adore this band the most don’t even have a copy of their own. Either because they vanished before they could buy one, or they have some heartbreaking story, like having it stolen during a house party in the late 90’s. Hickey was never famous. Never had a song that reached college radio. Never toured with a well known band. They existed for only 4 years, did 4 tours, 1 record and a handful of singles. But for a small contingent of people they touched, they ignited a fire in their brains like nothing before or since. The Naked Cult Of Hickey is real. People say this band changed their life. Although their obscurity isn't because they never reached a large enough audience. Most people that heard them either hated them or thought they were stupid. Chances are if you listen to this, you’ll be unimpressed and wonder what all the fuss is about. Or worse, think I’m just blowing smoke up your ass to sell records. But if your brain chemistry is aligned a certain way, you’ll understand why so many weird punks have that damn heart tattooed on...

***The last 4 songs ever recorded by the legendary Bay Area punk band Hickey. Recorded in 1997 shortly before the band broke up. The songs were meant for a compilation that was planned at the time, but because of money issues, delayed and delayed until it was finally scrapped all together. And for 25 years the original tapes sat in a cigar box never seeing the light of day until just now! All songs never before released in any format. The recordings are rough, blown out and perfect. Comes with a 16 page zine which includes writings from all band members and photo by Murray Bowles. Long live the Naked Cult of Hickey!

***SHRINKWRAP KILLERS, LOVE SONGS, FLESHIES and THESE BASTARDS present this small token as a tribute to our friend Scott Alcoholocaust. He dedicated decades of his life to the Bay Area music scene, relentlessly booking shows and helping the Bay Area punk scene flourish. Not to mention the thousands of touring bands helped along the way. There's nothing anyone can do to match the scale of what Scott did for us, but hopefully this little slab of wax will be a small reminder of the greatness of Scott. All proceeds will go towards the Scott Memorial Fund.

***6 song 7" featuring 3 songs from each band. SHELLSHAG (NYC) has been the soundtrack to chaotic Brooklyn house shows for years now, and will soon be releasing their 4th LP, coming out this spring on Don Giovanni Records. They play sweaty, black-out drunk pop music at it's finest. APOGEE SOUND CLUB (Bay Area) in turn crafts aggressive, angular and politically charged post punk in the school of The Ex and Gang Of Four.

***Unrestrained snotty punk spewed out by a couple of young Duluth Minnesota wild asses. Drawing on the ghosts of late ‘80s East Bay pop punk, they combine the song writing prowess and youthful energy of Crimpshirne with the down-and-out glam of Hickey. Always fast, always trashy, always ugly. Never simple, never predictable. It's as catchy and gross as it gets. So awesome!
