Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1981, Rock, Experimental Punk, San Antonio, TX
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: Captures the band before a stable name—early flyers and tapes floated multiple identities as they tried to outrun being “a normal punk band.”
-
Studio Lore: Practice-tape era: one room, one take, cheap gear—documents made to trade and book shows, not to sound “finished.”
-
Media Narrative: These early tapes became currency in the underground because the official catalog came later—scarcity turned rehearsal noise into canon.

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).
