Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: “Battle of the bands” surf comps were real local institutions—teen scenes, car culture, and promoter contests creating instant-status winners.
-
Media Narrative: Titles like this were marketed like sports trophies; the hype was the product, and the record became the souvenir.
-
Studio Lore: These were often cut fast with house engineers on tight budgets—capture the band, press it quick, sell it at the next dance.

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).
