Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: As a core Hieroglyphics member, Pep Love helped build Hiero Imperium after major-label fallout, keeping Oakland’s indie circuit alive without corporate backing.
-
Band Drama: The collective’s DIY structure later fueled disputes over money and leadership, exposing tension beneath the “crew” image.
-
Studio Lore: Much of this era was recorded in modest Bay Area setups, with the group self-engineering and controlling their own output end to end.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
