For the first time ever and after over 10 years of belting out charging melodic three-chord blasters, Philly USA punks DARK THOUGHTS are making their way to Australia!!
“Dark Thoughts is a Ramones band.” That’s something that frontman Jim Shomo has said, out loud, about his own band. He didn’t need to say it. It’s all right there in the band’s sound: the turbocharged melodies, the wildly economical brevity, the absolute lack of anything remotely pretentious or show-offy. The Ramones are the basic foundational influence of pretty much all American pop-punk…What makes Dark Thoughts special is the energy and vitality they bring to it.” – Stereogum

Just a little information post about today.
We are open til 5.30. Cranking the new @djmourn album and watching horror movies. If your on the guest list go to the castle rave launch.
Our buddies in Rockhampton / Yeppon are having a Palestine benefit gig with the best punk bands from the Rocky area playing. If you`re around that area, get along. Regional Queensland is a hostile enviroment to any underground culture so give these cats some support.
Folk meltdown Slim Krusty is playing at Lantana in Caloundra. Get to that if you like folk,pingers and punk.
Also there`s a big Drum and Festival in Nambour. With an after party at the Presynct.
Transmission over.
New Mural for the upcoming Gaoled show. Painted by the big Swak.
Every young hardcore punk kid that comes through the shop is losing their shit about this show. It`s really 4 of the best current heavy bands in Australia. Expect brutality and madness. But also expect the best friendly vibes you`ve ever experienced. It`s the dichotomy of Nambour underground music on full effect.
Brought to you by the pillars of underground insanity @teamglassesrecords @antivision.aus and us.
Get your tickets asap. We`ve been getting close to selling out the Black Box. This might be the first one we do? Don`t miss out.

We now have a sock section. As a teenager one of the greatest places to go was the oddball t-shirt shop in the old half empty mall. 15 different Iron Maiden designs, those shirts with every classic UK punk band printed all other the front, velcro wallets with a weed leaf and rasta colours. Anything your young heart desired. In an effort to replicate that vibe, here`s some Misfits, Slipknot, Mayhem and Cannibal Corpse socks. Instore and on the webstore.
Gig announcement. Hear ye, Hear ye. Medieval peace punkers are touring on their new record Confere, released on Relapse Records.
Joining them will be @slowcutband @workquestionmark (launching their 1st tape) and @flail.sludge
Get your tickets via the link tree in the bio.
