So as many of ya'll have noticed we haven't had any new records coming out for a while now. For the most part because we've been spending most of our time concentrating on running the record store, and planning "FUGITIVE KIND" tour. FUGITIVE KIND is a new band that 3 long time Thrillhouse folks (Fred, Zoe and Dooley) along with Julia and Emily are in. Shit is pretty cool. After tour, and San Francisco's Doomed 2010, we'll be putting our nose back to the grindstone, putting out lots of cool records. In the meantime, come out and hangout with us while we're on tour. Get in touch if you want more information about any of these shows thrillhouserecords@gmail.com or want a demo tape
Oh, and the record store will totally be open while we're gone

ONION FLAVORED RINGS - "Funny" 7"

ONION FLAVORED RINGS - "Funny" 7"

5 song EP featuring OFRs last songs. It was a sad day to learn that the ONION FLAVORED RINGS folks were all moving to different citys (Aside from Steve who's staying put). And thus the creative output will now be on hiatus. But before spliting ways, the fellows made it to the recording studio one last time to record the new songs they had been working on. And let me tell you, they are brilliant. Just exactly what you'd expect for these guys; melodic and slightly dark pop songs that are totally catchy. If you dug thier last EP you'll love this one. Seriously good stuff here. They will also be going on an East Coast tour starting at the end of the month, check it out if you live out that way.

SONGS FOR MOMS - "I Used To Belive In the West"LP

SONGS FOR MOMS - "I Used To Belive In the West"LP
$9.00 (postage paid)

We finally have the LP in and we all couldn't be more excited. This shit is amazing, its 3 ladies creating an incredibly tuneful sound that feels like a combination of Loretta Lynn and Patti Smith. Over laying rock, punk and country; they cross back and forth between bittersweet melodies and aggressive displays of anger and hatred, yet always staying poetic and beautiful. This is SONGS FOR MOM's second LP (the first one put out by the great folks over at Starcleaner Records). We'll be having a record release show here in the bay area real soon (more details to come) then the ladies will be hitting the road and touring the entire US this summer after they're done organizing and running the Bay Area's GIRLS ROCK CAMP.

Thrillhouse wins "BEST PUNK RECORD STORE" in SF Weekly

What a cool thing! Huh? But don't worry, we're not going to hang up one of those cheesy "Best of the Bay" framed pictures in the store. Well, actully we could put it in the bathroom. At least that way we could cover a small amount of the dumb ass graffiti ya'll write on our walls. Maybe we could have a contest and see how long it takes before someone draws a penis on the cover. Yikes! But truth be told, we're flattered, and a little confused. We're not really used to getting much attention, from anyone.

And because the Weekly put down a link to this webpage, I'm sure there must be alot of first time visitors to the site. So it'd probably be good to clear up a few things. This website is meant to represent both the store we have on Mission street and the record label we run out of the same building. And as it turns out most of this website is dedicated to the record label. Thats because you can actully come in and visit the store, you don't need the internet for that. So come on over and drop by! But if you're visiting this website to get some information about the store, here's some things to know...

-We're a not-for-profit record store

-Most, but not all, records in the store are what most would consider "punk"

-The majority of our records are vinyl, but we do have some CDs, tapes and some zines. Buy your MRR's here!

-We're CASH only, don't take credit cards, cause fuck man, we don't need to be giving those credit card company fools our money!

-We try really hard to support local music

-We only buy records through independent distributors. And we never buy Major Label. We are working to support our community, not rich white dudes with corprate intrests.

-We're all volunteer run. So if you stop by and the stores locked up...sorry about that. Bare with us, the person working that shift is probably on tour, studying for a test, or too high to remember which day of the week it is

Hope to see ya'll soon!

Sexy - Por Vida LP $8.00 (postage paid!)

Well After a long delay the Sexy - Por Vida LP is finally here! Can't tell you how excited I am for this one. This record is totally classic and has spent a lot of time on my record player since it originally came out a few years ago. For those of you not familar with the story; this record originally came out on Onion Flavored Records years ago, but due to a pressing (or mastering) defect many of the records were unlistenable. It quickly went out of print and it was decided that if it were to be repressed they needed to fix the problem. Long story short the problem was not fixed and the record only resurfaced in the CD format thanks to the good folks at Plan it X. But now the record has been remastered and is available again on vinly! I love this record; best record to come out in the last 10 years. No joke.

Nov 4th, 2008
After several months of being out of stock, we finally have more HEY GIRL - Spill Your Guts LPs in print! Also we're in the middle of screen printing albums Sexy - Por Vida LP covers, so those should be done soon.

Oct 4th, 2008
NOW AVAILABLE

With a lot of excitement I'm happy to say that the SURRENDER full lenght LPs are finally finished and ready to ship out. For a few years now (when not on tour) they have been playing shows around the Bay Area and continously blowing my mind. If you've heard their 7"s you know how amazing they are. Total throwback to 80's English peace punk with a slight hint of riot grrrl. But yet totally original. Very political, rocking, smart and beautiful all at the same time. This is a totally amazing record, I'm so stoked on it.

In other news, we have some really cool records coming out soon. Right now we're in the process of finishing a re-press of the SEXY - Por Vida LP. It should be done in time for the SEXY shows in the Bay Area coming up here. No dates set yet, but check back soon, we'll have them listed. And after that we are in the begining stages of laying out a Bay Area compilation LP. Don't have much I can say for certain about it just yet, but expect great things.

Aug 9th, 2008
NOW AVAILABLE

Well after a slight delay, the Black Rainbow 7" is finally here! Not only is the 7" fucking killer, but it comes with a 28 page zine created by the band. Hows that for an insert?! But yeah its available to order here on the website and if you want to listen to a song off of the record we have a song on the Black Rainbow band page. Check it out!

July 20th, 2008
Got a lot of exciting news to write about this time. We finally got in the Black Rainbow test pressings last week and it sounds amazing. We have them being pressed right now and it is going to be available for order on the website and at the record store onAug 1st!!! Its going to be great; 3 song 7" that comes with a 20 page zine. Look on their band page on this website to hear a song by them if you're not familar with them yet. Aside from that we're still working on the Surrender LP and the Sexy - Por Vida LP, expect those in the next few months. And lastly we have a pretty solid schedule for this year's Thrillfest. Check out the Thrillfest myspace for full and up to date listings of all the shows and events. See you there!

June 6th, 2008
Just a couple quick things to report. First off, we're still hard away at planning Thrillfest 08, and it's shaping up to look like a pretty kick ass fest. Its going to August 20th-24th in San Francisco. As of now we have a lot of bands confirmed, and we're still waiting to hear back from a lot more. Among those confirmed are: Toys That Kill, Tiltwheel, Four Eyes, Dan Padilla, Tulsa, Surrender, Underground Railroad To Candyland, Shotwell, Robocop 3, Reaction, Off With Their Heads, and many more. We are also planning on having several pick-up baseball games during the daytime of the fest, so bring your baseball gloves. I'll have more details coming real soon. Aside from fest planning we're really excited about the next two albums we currently have in the works for this summer. The first one being a BLACK RAINBOW 7" I've mentioned before. That project is at the pressing plant right now, so expect it sooner than later. The other record we're working on right now is the SURRENDER LP. Fucking amazing peace punk from the Bay Area. Its gonna be great. And lastly, we're nearing completion on our distro catalog. Check it out if you haven't already, hundreds of vinyl and CDs available to order.

April 22nd, 2008
Lots of cool new stuff to report. As of today we now have the Onion Flavored Rings - Perfect Evolution 7" back in print for the last time. This round of 500 are all handed screened by yours truely. After this we're washing the screens and breaking the mold so get them while you can. Talking about hand screen printed albums... the Dory Tourette 6 color LP are finally done. Limited to 300, minus the 30 or 40 I fucked up real bad on. First 100 are on white vinyl. This one will also have an insert and coloring page. There are still 3 copies of the first pressing (wheatpasted cover art) you order in the next few days please indicate which version you'd like. Thirdly I'd like to mention the exciting news that the next project we're going to do (Thrillhouse #11) will be a Black Rainbow 7". Real stoked on this! The recording will be masted in a week or two so expect to see this one out some time around the start of summer. And last but not least we just started doing an online distro. Its still in works but check it out under the distro icon on this webpage. Rock!

Shotwell - Patriot LP/CD Available April 4th!!!!

Well, its almost completly done. The long awaited Shotwell - Patriot LP/CD is finally here. After several years in the making this 19 song epic full length album has finally been properly released in it’s entirety. If you got a tape or burned CD of Shotwell’s Patriot a year or two back, that was only about half of the album. Now its finally all together, mastered and featuring some fucking amazing artwork. Not everyone will agree with me, but I truly think Shotwell is the best band playing in the bay area right now, and this album completely does them justice. I couldn’t be more happy with a record we’ve put out! Also, come to the house for the Record Release show on April 4th featuring Shotwell, Black Rainbow and Pink Elephants. Show starts at 6pm, all ages. Rock!

The records are avilable for Pre-order now!!!
All LPs and CD's will ship April 4th!!!!!!!

Shotwell - Patriot LP $9.00 (postage paid)

Shotwell - Patriot CD $9.00 (postage paid)

March 2nd, 2008
After only 2 and a half months we sold out the Onion Flavored Rings 7" here at Thrillhouse. But while we're all out of them here, I think some of our distro's still have a few copies. If you're interested in picking up a copy I'd suggest going to No Idea / Revolver / Little Type / Fast Crowd / ADD / Alternative Tentacles / Dead Broke / Sound Idea / No Breaks / or Toxic Pop. Some where in there they should have copies. We will be makeing a new batch here soon but the covers may or may not be hand screened as the first ones were. I'm not sure exactly what we're doing.

Febuary 26th, 2008
So we're on the last leg of putting together the Shotwell "Patriot" LP/CD. This is really cool for us here at Thrillhouse cause not only is this the first duel format release we've ever done, but it's also one of the best records I've ever heard. We've set a date for the Record Release show here for April 4th. Save the date if you're going to be in the Bay Area cause this is going to be a kick ass show!

January 31st, 2008

If you havn't checked out the new issue of MRR you should. There is a big article on Thrillhouse in there. Well more of an interview with a bunch of people who volunteer here. Its pretty cool. In other news, we just got the SHOTWELL Patriot LP test pressing today! It sounds amazing, I'm soooooooooo stoked on it. We'll post more information as it gets closer to being all ready, there's still a crapload of things we need to do. Lastly we're about half way done with screen printing the covers for the 2nd pressing of Dory Tourette and the Skirtheads LP. Its going to be limited to 300 hand screened 6 color covers. All made by your's truely in the Thrillhouse basement (so expect alot of fuck-ups, I've never screen printed before). And who knows, this edition might even have an insert, but no lyrics, that will never happen.

December 17th, 2007

The new Onion Flavored Rings 7" just arrived today and its really awesome! 7 song concept record. Its blowing my mind right now. These are probably some of the best OFR songs I've heard yet! If your reading this in December and you live in the Pacific Northwest, you might be able to see OFR, they just left for a week tour with Tulsa. I'm not sure what else to say about this record, I've drank too much coffee and this record has totally left me speechless.

October 25th, 2007

It really pains me to say but our friend Dory Tourette passed away on Monday morning. Don't really know what to say. You were loved and we'll miss you. Rest in peace friend.

October 24th, 2007

Just found out today that the new Love Songs - Hot Buns 7" is going to be arriving here at Thrillhouse on this Tuesday. Man oh man I am so stoked. Love Songs is literally one of my favorite bands of all time. Before I had this store and label take over all my free time, I would seriously go to every show these guys played in the Bay Area. And they played at least one show almost every weekend. Furthermore, this 7" has two of the best songs I've ever heard from them, Side A will make you pee your pants, really. Its also coming out just in time to be on sale at Love Songs' 10th annual "International Porn Star Nuts Day" or IPSN Day, which will be taking place at the Eagle Tavern on November 15th with: Love Songs, La Plebe, Boom Boom Kid and Manville. Should be an awesome show! Also we're going to have an Aftershave Party at Thrillhouse on November 16th with Love Songs, Manville, and a few others. Dang, what a cool weekend!

In other news, the new Onion Flavored Rings 7" is getting mastered and sent to the plant this week, so we should be having that out by the time they go on tour in December. Also in the next week or two we'll be sending out the Shotwell - Patriot LP off to be mastered.
