Francisco, Cosmo Dance

Bay Area Punk

Art-school sarcasm, slowed-down sludge and speed-freak hardcore, all pressed within a few miles of each other.

Bay Area Thrash Metal

Riffs cut like machine tools, tempos past 200bpm, and a garage circuit that rewrote American metal.

San Francisco Psychedelia

Ballroom bands who stretched blues and folk into twenty-minute jams, pressed before anyone edited them down.
