Cowabunga! Records

Cowabunga! Records is run by Nick Sick. I release what I like and do the label not based on music trends. I sometimes trade records-but basically only if you have stuff close to what I put out then hit me up. If I don't carry whatever it is you got and want to trade out, don't even bother.

The Ladies - Trashed ep -
Awesome 3rd EP from these RVA rockin rollin' punks. More catchy on this record than the other 2 and more mid tempo, these are easily our favorite 3 songs by this band. Fans of the Dwarves, New Bomb Turks and Brutal Knights here is your new fave band
Hummingbird of Death-Show Us The Meaning of Haste LPMonstrous debut LP from Boise Idaho's best HC act. Amazing HC, def straight up stuff but this time around the band incorporates a serious death metal influence to the fold, making it a little more technical but still punk as shit. Still fastcore no matter how you slice it, but call it hardcore. 2 different shades of color vinyl, limited of course!



Dark Ages - Vicious Lie EP
DEBUT EP from Kansas City's best hardcore punk band, DARK AGES! After a very well received demo (which saw the demo pressed on wax afterwards) comes their 1st EP, 6 new ripping tunes of great hardcore punk. This band doesn't sing about shallow subject matter, touching up on religion, the state of politics and even the matter of someone constantly seeing things on how 'bad it is' but the fact that you can make the change yourself and not expect someone to always do it for you. Musically it doesn't really bring to mind anyone old or new but of course some bands of lore hold some inspiration to this band but they don't rip it off and claim it as their own. Now in its 2nd press on FIREY ORANGE.
The Timebombs - I Belong In Hell LP
1ST LP from Brea CA's Timebombs! In just a little under 20 minutes the fab 4 bring us this hardcore wonder. Its hard to explain this record, if you want comparisons look elsewhere. Its still what we'd call the 'Timebombs' sound but its been added upon and more specific, paranoid feeling and definitely louder. Can't stress the loud factor here, even on a quiet setting this record is loud as hell. Lyrically there is a sense of hatred, isolation and abandonment with people on it and anger with one's self and esp others. A top notch record for sure from one of the most hard working and best bands on the West Coast. Covers are also dual sided glued reg covers as in there is artwork also on the inside of the cover! Color vinyl gets an ALTERNATE SCREEN PRINTED cover!



V/A Welcome to the Golden State ep
Brand new comp of all California punk/HC bands, 1st in a 3 part series. On this volume we have Ecoli (3 tunes), Funeral Shock, Critical Picnic, Timebombs, Video Disease, Social Sickness, Valoids, Crawlspace and Broken Needle, and all songs are EXCLUSIVE to the comp, no live songs, no cover songs all originals. And the MARBLE PURPLE mailorder version comes w alternate artwork, sweet!



High Life - ST EP Brand spankin' new EP from these rowdy Texans! Haha, joke aside these TX boys really come at this record pissed off, it just reeks of anger and the record is just of control as depicted at how fast they play on this record. Soundwise, they really just sound 'inspired' from bands like Poison Idea or RKL BUT IN NO WAY ripping them off! Seriously they sound like they're about to lose it on a few tunes here. 2nd press on 2 different colors of vinyl for your delight/displeasure!



Vile Nation - No Exit EP Wow, after a killer demo 2 years ago (and was pressed in uber small 's on wax) their EP finally surfaces for us not worthy. This ripper of an EP is 6 songs of raging hardcore thrash done 83 style, like a cross of 1st 7'' D.R.I, Neon Christ and Negative FX elements but make it all still punk than that and that's this Tennessee classic. A dude from Life Trap plays in this band if that matters to you people, but that shouldn't matter this band rips on their own merit. Now in its 2nd press, on WHITE vinyl!



Funeral Shock - Paint Thinner EP YES! Heres the newest EP from Funeral Shock! 4 tunes of the same great hardcore punk with hateful lyrics done Cali style you know and love in the vein of Black Flag, Fang, Fuck Ups and Bad Posture. This was supposed to be out a month ago but the stampers were 'lost', so sadly before Tom moved to Pittsburgh these weren't out in time. LIMITED 'PEPSI/COKE BOTTLE' CLEAR for mailorder/webstore order.



Weekend Nachos - Punish & Destroy LP This lp is amazing. Need we say more?! Don't miss out on this one if you even think you like brutal hardcore! NOW in- 2nd press copies w Blue font rather than red, corrected track listing on back and thicker wax!



Funeral Shock - III ep
These 3 new tunes of ugly, angry hardcore are worthy of numerous spins on the turntable! Tom their current vocalist is great and his burly voice carries the band. Down to the last HUNDRED ever.
Second Opinion - ST ep
5 song ep by this amazing hardcore thrash band thats like Minor Threat and Uniform Choice meets Deadfall and Tear it Up. They consist of current Nightstick Justice, Ecoli and Face the Rail members.
