The Way-Too-Late and Highly Self-Indulgent Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club’s Top Albums of 2022 List. Numbers 1-10 : : 1. @soulglophl - “Diaspora Problems.” Top to bottom, left to right, inside and out the best hardcore punk album of the year. 2. @offofficial - “Free LSD.” A real swing for the fences that almost imploded the band paid off in a big way. 3. Tony Molina - “In The Fade.” Uniquely familiar fuzzed out power pop hooks with some soft boi’s thrown in. 4. @chained_bliss - “Chained Bliss.” The perfect combination of weirdo punk and technical talent. 5. Whimsyland - “Chadd Derkins Presents: Whimsyland.” The PPMB collectively soundtracking a manic romp through America’s bed non-existent theme park. 6. @drugchurch - “Hygiene.” Fully realized and heavier than ever. 7. @theeradicator - “Forever The Eradicator.” History has sided with this, the better (and funnier) of the masked-band punk rock shticks. Their best record yet. 8. @stiffrichardsband - “Stiff Richards.” This repress (or whatever) counts as 2022 because I said so. I’s that good. 9. @lotionmnc - “W.A.R. In The Digital Realm.” Remember that video game boss you couldn’t quite beat? Well they just released an album and it’s great. 10. @nobromusic - “Live Your Truth Shred Some Gnar.” Hooks! riffs! attitude! sex appeal! The perfect rock album. : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #records #vinyl #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLmkP-uvCA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Way-Too-Late and Highly Self-Indulgent Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club’s Top Box Set/Represses of 2022 List. Numbers 1-10 : : 1. @ramones - “The Sire Albums 1981-1989.” Some argue 80’s Ramones are the best. Their wrong, but not by that much. Great set. 2. @joestrummer & The Mescaleros- “Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years.” Worth it for Vibes Compass alone. Add in all their full lengths and this is IT. 3. Various - “First Six @dischordrecords.” Beautiful collection. Remember that time you were straight edge? It’s ok, no one else does. 4. @theslackersband - “Wasted Days.” Their second best record gets a great reissue. I was happy when I went to pick it up (pick it up pick it up). 5. @thebriefs - “Singles Only in 3D.” Two new songs and 3D glasses? Sign me up. 6. @cobraskulls - “Eagle Eyes.” The beginning of the ending for a band never sounded so great. 7. @thelibertines - “Up The Bracket.” Britpop dripping in nostalgia. The live record is surprisingly great too. 8. @offofficial - “First Four EPs.” Their best songs, now without having to get up and turn over 45’s. 9. @boburnham - “Inside: Deluxe.” The box design alone should win awards. The bonus songs and instrumentals are icing on the cake. 10. Pinhead Gunpowder - “Compulsive Disclosure.” Rounding out the @1234gorecords Represses. Saved their best for last. : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #records #vinyl #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBMecrO4Fj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Former Member - “Manageable Scratches” released on May 2nd, 2022 by Memory Music. ——————————————————— MM-025 / 12” / LP / Limited Edition : : Former Member is back with a mature riff-heavy rock and roll experiment worthy of your attention. Jason Shevchuk and Will Yip swing for the fences with this one, making Manageable Scratches feel familiar and new at the same time. Jason is doing some really cool tricks with his voice this time around. You can really appreciate the effort going into every word. I like the slower jams on here as the production really highlights the riffs and harmonies Jason is able to pull off. (I also wanted to say that my friend Keith and I shared a love for this band and I hope wherever he is now he can appreciate this. RIP @seafoam__green_ ) : : Standout Tracks: “2nd Take” “Dull Bog” & “Physical Copy.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrockrecords #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity vinyladdict vinylrecords vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #nonemoreblack #kiddynamite #willyip #formermember (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CghSMt5OKgU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Psyched To Die - “Sterile Walls” released in 2009 by #GraveMistakeRecords & #FirestarterRecords. ——————————————————— GRAVE029; FR-16 / 7” / EP : : The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it EP featuring everyone’s favorite Jersey Shore cretins. Made up of members of Forward To Death, Hunchback, The Ergs!, and Fast Times, this band sticks to the formula pretty closely to make an EP reminiscent of early 80’s California skate punk. Standout Tracks: “Permanent Solution” & “Sterile Walls.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrockrecords #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #psychedtodie #thergs #forwardtodeath #forscience #nightbirds @gravemistakerecords (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce4K9NRONXw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Five Hundred Bucks - “$500” released on April 29th, 2022. ——————————————————— 12” / LP : : One of my favorite local musicians has been Jeff Riddle. Between Scarier Area, Bella Vista Social Club, and Holy Mess, I’ve always been in awe of their effortless talent and good guy nihilistic charm. When I saw the horror comedy Uncle Peckerhead with Jeff playing a singer in a punk band with a cannibalistic roadie, I was happy that the world may be getting a taste of what Philly has been hoarding. Thankfully the songs Jeff wrote for that “fake” band are seeing a proper vinyl release in “$500.” This release feels like two warring sides of the self-deprecating brain fighting for control; bluesy rock & roll slide guitar weirdness and hard punk rock PBR-drenched swagger. He’s joined live by the talented philly-based musician Connor Byrne (of Brackish and Mt. Ida), offering up the perfect background vocals for this. A lesser band would fail at tracking this record, but Jeff and Co. find the right mix to make it a really fun ride. Songs both for the party and the after-party. Get it? : : Standout Tracks: “Too High To Cry (To Rare To Care)” & “I Want To Die Young.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrockrecords #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying @this.is.hell.im.in.hell #fivehundredbucks @connor.birb @fivehundredbucks @billosquid @nnnickrrros (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CewYCKPuhDb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club. : : Broadway Calls - “Sad in the City” released on July 10th, 2020 by #RedScareIndustries. ——————————————————— CCCP 228-1 / Vinyl / LP / Album : : OK, they won me over on this one. The hooks are big, the drums sound great, and everything seems to just click. The timing of this release couldn’t have been any better. It’s a fun “adult” pop-punk take on the living through an apocalypse. Slick production rounds out this cool little record and I cant wait to hear what they do next. Standout Tracks: ‘Always On The Run” and “Meet Me On The Moon.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrockrecords #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #records #vinyl #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #vinylcommunity @broadwaycalls @redscaretoby (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUu2-_WgG0V/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club. : : Ramona - “Deals, Deals, Deals!” released on June 7th, 2019 by #RedScareRecords. ——————————————————— CCCP 219-1 / Vinyl / LP / 45 RPM : : RAMONA made some waves with this LP, full of pop punk ear worms and catchy creative hooks. When they made the move to Philly I was excited to see them play some local shows and they didn’t disappoint. I’m. A huge fan of bands with two different styled singers sharing vocal duties. I’m excited to see what they do next. : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #records #vinyl #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #ramonapunk @redscareindustries #ramona #poppunkvinyl (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjTk6Cs_sm/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club. : : GEL - “GEL” released on June 24th, 2019 by BlindRageRecords and ToLiveALie. ——————————————————— BRR006 / TLAL186 / 7” / Limited : : Now this is Hardcore for the freaks. This limited split release find GEL at the legendary Volume IV with Chris Pierce. GEL is a great live act, but this recording really shows just how good they are at being a band. Sammi’s vocals are on point and the rhythm section knocks you on your ass. The :37 second mark of ‘compulsion’ is the exact moment I fell in love with the band. Having shared a stage I can confidently say they’re super nice too. This band sure does look a lot like Sick Shit though… Standout Tracks: “No Warning” & “Compulsion.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #cumisadrink #notsickshit #shorecore #njhardcore #hardcore @gelhc @blindragerecords (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBy0d_MEps/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club. : : Pinhead Gunpowder - “Kick Over The Traces” released in 2009 by #RecessRecords. ——————————————————— Recess120 / Compilation / Limited : : I managed to get my greasy hands on one of these recalled Recess represses. Luckily there’s no skipping, but the levels are all over the place. I don’t know how I missed the fact most of these PH songs were written by Aaron Cometbus. If you like 90’s Berkeley pop-punk then you definitely know about the subtle genius of Pinhead Gunpowder. Part supergroup and part songwriting exercise, the songs from this compilation span an impressive career. Looking forward to the @1234gorecords represses. Standout Tracks: “At Your Funeral,” “Life During Wartime,” and “West Side Highway.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #eastbaypunk #AaronCometbus #billiejoearmstrong #billschneider #crimpshrine #pinheadgunpowder #greenday #lookoutrecords #recessrecords @recessrecords @lookoutrecords (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBC3_5Muuf/?igshid=1bv9jeb5wkmfp

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club. : : Common Rider - “Last Wave Rockers” released on May 25th, 2009 by #PanicButton and #LookoutRecords. ——————————————————— PB227 / LK226 / Album / LP : : The debut album from Squirtgun/Op Ivy/Screeching Weasel members was nothing short of perfect. Spinning this record again made it clear. ‘Last Wave Rockers’ was greater than the sum of it’s parts. Jesse Micheals, Mass, and Dan brought three different styles to the table and made something really interesting. Did you know that Common Rider was named after a Japanese TV show? Wild. Standout Tracks: “Classics Of Love” & “Carry On.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying @massgiorgini @jesse9michaels #commonrider (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXmiLXMi-_/?igshid=xii8lnsxdddz

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club - Best of 2020. : : Here it is; the GP Top Ten. What a year. Some great records came out. Would have loved to grab more and see some shows too, but sometimes the universe has other plans. Everyone at the pizzeria stayed healthy this year, so that’s the biggest win. Let’s hope 2021 is slightly better. I’ll try to stay active on this account. It was hard to do it this year. Ok enough from me... here are the best records I picked up in 2020. : : 10) IDLES - “Super Mono.” Finally picked up an IDLES record and I get it – they kick ass. @idlesband 9) Soul Glo - “Songs to Yeet at the Sun.” Important band doing important things with brutal music as a backdrop. @soulglophl 8) Pottery - “Welcome to Bobby’s Motel.” A fucking dance party hosted by Talking Heads and Gang of Four. Really dig this one. @potteryband 7) Cowboys - “Room of Clons.” Super satisfying change of direction from a mature rock outfit. Easy to listen start to finish. @thecowboysband 6) Personality Cult – “New Arrows.” Full band debut knocks off socks and rocks the blocks. @personalitycultnc 5) The Lawrence Arms – “Skeleton Coast.” Scene veterans prove why everything the touch turns to gold. @thelawrencearms 4) Jeff Rosenstock – “No Dream.” My favorite musician surprising everyone with this slice of perfection. @jeffrosenstock 3) Private Function – “Who’s Line Is It Anyway.” Australian freak punks turned out a surprisingly poppy record full of bangers. Still on top. @privatefunction69 2) Chubby and the Gang – “Speed Kills.” Hardcore punk with harmonica breaks. No nonsense rock and roll that makes me feel tough(er). @chubbyandthegang 1) Dark Thoughts – “Must Be Nice.” Love, Loss, and introspection were on the menu for Philly’s Dark Thoughts. They’ve never put out a bad album and Must Be Nice is their absolute best record yet. @darkthoughtsusapunkofficial : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying #aoty (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJe7669M8Go/?igshid=1le7ecdrgmh7l

The Greasy Pizzeria Punk Rock Vinyl Club. : : SPELLS - “Stimulants & Sedatives” released on February 4th, 2020 by #SnappyLittleNumbers and #RadGirlfriendRecords. ——————————————————— SLN-177 / RGF-106 / Vinyl / LP / Album : : I took a chance on this record after hearing a few singles and seeing it on the RGF site. I’m very glad I did. It doesn’t matter which side you put on, this record is on fire. Equal parts Rocket from the Crypt and Andrew WK, this band of Colorado parents play fuzz-soaked big riffs with plenty of rock and roll swagger. I want to be these guys when I’m older. They play shows for the same reason I did (pre-covid) - fun nights and a change of scenery. Fronted by basic cable’s @benroy00 and featuring some scene veterans, this record is straight up stupid fun. Album closer ‘I’m Sorry I’m Not Sorry’ waxes poetic about the future while leaving you wanting more. This might end up a GP Top 10 of 2020 record. Standout Tracks: “Nose Dive” and “We Can’t Relate.” : : #punkrecords #punkvinyl #punkrockvinyl #punkrock #punk #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylgram #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #instavinyl #listentothis #nowplaying @spellsrules @radgirlfriendrecords @snappylittlenumbers (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG7pE1dpkxN/?igshid=16764tos7xx3i
