All of the classic vinyl-only hits, many of them out of print or unavailable, on one little piece of plastic. Complete with full-color liner notes, a bunch of fun samples between tracks, and some live action bonus tracks. A must for fans of this great band.

The perfect blend of garage, punk rock, and pop. This record is loaded with style and the songs are excellently written and recorded. If you've ever liked anything by CHAKA, or have an ounce of taste, you'll love this record. Distributed by Mordam. (co-release with eMpTy Records)

This would be my (and SCARED OF CHAKA's) first treading in the waters of "indie-rock." It's really an Albuquerque thing, you wouldn't understand. Four songs, two covers (of each other's songs, how sweet...!) and some awesome 3-color packaging. The whole first pressing was on orange vinyl. And for the punk purists: CHAKA's got an unreleased song on here that ain't "indie-rock", so don't ignore this one.

Fans of THE SHINS take note: FLAKE MUSIC is comprised of mostly the same members!

This was the best record on 702, until these guys released the "How to Lose" 10-inch. Recorded in a basement in Albuquerque for $350, this record has the best sound of any of SOC's releases to date. Fuckin' Joey said: "the fuckin' record of the fuckin' year! I don't eat, I don't sleep, I don't work, I don't fuck -- I haven't even fuckin' jerked off. I'll never write another fuckin' song again." Is that enough for you? SOC plays fast powerful melodic garagey punk rock in the vein of THE DICKIES. Check it out!

Two awesome songs from each band. The record has a cool tri-foldout cover type thing. This record came out for a tour the two bands did together in January '96. "Go Today" is one of THE GAIN's best songs, and it happens to be on this record. Chuck Uchida from NO EMPATHY recorded SOC's songs in Chicago for free -- whatta guy. Yanul wrote a great song for this record called "Goodsky" at a Cubs game, and recorded it a few hours later. VERY FEW COPIES of this 7" are left in stock. I mean less than TEN (as of April 2003) and then it is out of print forever. See the new GAIN retrospective coming in summer of 2003 on Slovenly!

SOC  MP3s . GAIN  MP3s

The classic garage-pop-punk album from 1995.

I heard more than a couple of people call this one "album of the year." SOC plays straight-forward punk rock in the vein of THE DICKIES or early MTX. This album has a real SUPERCHARGER feel to it, it's pretty garagey.
