Matthew David Wheeler - Along the Way     $10.00
Matthew David Wheeler

Acoustic rock that you can drive to and that will drive you.  Matthew David Wheeler talks to the heart and plays to the soul with his catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. 
From his website:
The album “Along The Way” is a collection of songs that were written about real life issues and challenges that Matthew David Wheeler faced in his own life. The title of the album was chosen to better illustrate the idea that these tracks are merely snapshots taken along this, sometimes crazy, road we call “life”.  The album is strongly based around the acoustic guitar, which is a reflection of how Matthew David Wheeler likes to write.

Listen to his sounds at www.MatthewDavidWheeler.com.

T.S.O.L. DVD - Live in Hawaii - $10.00
TSOL DVD

Jason Miller and Tim from Oddessey Tattoo brought T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty) to Hawaii in the 90's.  This DVD is that story of their island visit.

More on T.S.O.L. from their website, www.TrueSoundsofLiberty.com:
When T.S.O.L. blasted onto the Orange County punk explosion in 1979 with white face paint, 6’ plus frames and blazing punk anthems, they were automatically a force to be reckoned with. Their previous band, Vicious Circle, had already established themselves in the South Bay and Orange County with large crowds and several riots at historical venues such as the Cuckoo’s Nest and the Fleetwood. With the boost of the now classic Poshboy EP that introduced the songs “Superficial Love” and “Abolish Government”, TSOL picked up where Vicious Circle left off, but with an armory full of ammunition.

There were obvious reasons why TSOL was so huge so fast: They were cuter, their songs were catchier and their live show was a lot more energetic and fun then any other band going. They single handedly initiated the influx of girls into the early 80’s punk scene. With songs about fucking the dead, “Code Blue” and gothic punk ballads like “Silent Scream”, they became the first punk “phenomenon”; it was the “OC Invasion”.

The Malcognitas - Love is Fair     $10.00
Malcognitas

Malcognita literally means your bad thoughts, your darkest side transformed anew. With a penchant for dark melodic songs that ride the fringes of disco and rock, the Malcognitas are raising the bar in the mostly punk dominated music scene in Hawaii. An experienced rhythm section led by drummer Jack Tawil and the overdriving bass lines by Lorenzo Trinidad provide a strong foundation for lead guitarist Yvonne Harada's rock and noise influenced riffs and lead singer Ara Laylo's somber landscaped melodies. Together these group of friends form a unique chemistry of rock that is inspired from the likes of Blondie, Joy Division, Glass Candy, and Bauhaus.

What's your malcognita?

The Quintessentials - Legends from the Grave     $8.00
Quintessentials

The Quintessentials play polished Hawaii punk at its best.  I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but the sound quality of their recordings and playing is so skillful, it's hard not to call them polished.  Blazing guitar riffs and fast-footed drumming back creative lead singing.  If you want to bop or rock, this is the record for you.
