American Nightmare




Unlike most bands during the time that AN formed, This band's songs were full of witty sarcasm and melancholy lyrics, much like certain other bands at the time, including The Suicide File.





AN had to change their name a few times thanks to some really shitty bar band.

Screw 32 - Unresolved Childhood Issues




Screw 32 used to be an East Bay punk rock band. The band, now defunct featured current/ex members of bands such as Hopelifter, End of the World, Shadowboxer, Highwire Days, samiam, tilt, nothing cool, as well as Dance Hall Crashers.
This is a personal favorite record of mine I grew up listening to this on 12" along with my Scattered Fall and Oozies 7" records.

Enjoy Unresolved Childhood Issues.
