Title: Samhain – November-Coming-FireYear/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1986, Rock, Deathrock, Lodi, NJCondition: New Cultural Facts: Band Drama: Danzig treated Samhain as the bridge out of the Misfits—same mythos, more control, and a deliberate step toward his next band identity.

Title: The Cramps – Psychedelic JungleYear/Genre: 1981, PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: Second Cramps studio album, recorded with the classic Lux Interior / Poison Ivy / Nick Knox lineup plus Kid Congo Powers from The Gun Club. Released on I.R.S. Records, where their trash-horror image and rockabilly fixation made them the oddballs on a roster leaning toward new wave and college rock.

Title: The Spits – The Spits (3rd Album)Year/Genre: 2003, PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: A 2000s garage-punk staple in the post-KBD/bootleg era—fans were hunting “dumb fast punk” through message boards, zines, and small distro catalogs. Their shows were built for chaos: short sets, crowd baiting, and prank energy that made venues and promoters nervous even in punk-friendly towns. The band’s myth spread thro...

Title: Various Artists – Repo Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)Year/Genre: 1984, Punk / New Wave / SoundtrackCondition: New Cultural Facts: Cut like a punk “sampler” for mall record stores—helped smuggle L.A. hardcore and post-punk into mainstream distribution without radio. Bands from the film’s circle appear on-screen and on the record, blurring prop-music and real scene documentation. The movie’s anti-consumer satire made the soundtrack feel like merchandise about hating merch...

@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review! Title: Dropkick Murphys – The Warrior’s CodeYear/Genre: 2005, Celtic PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: Title track is for boxer Micky Ward; the band used it in fight-week culture and it became a walkout staple. One song from this album became The Departed’s calling card, then a Boston sports/TV anthem with a life bigger than the record.

The band’s brief existence coincided with D.C.’s “Revolution Summer,” a shift toward more emotionally direct, politically conscious punk that critics later linked to early emo.

Title: Taking Back Sunday – Tell All Your FriendsYear/Genre: 2002, Emo PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: Built on real Long Island friend-group fallout that spilled into the era’s most talked-about band feud and lyric back-and-forth. Early touring leaned on VFW halls, church basements, and suburban matinees—DIY circuits that let emo function like a local social network. The lineup that made this record later fractured and partly reunited, turning the album into a timestamp fans used to...
