Gravity Records
Gravity Records is one of the most important independent record labels to ever appear on the planet earth. The "Gravity sound," as captured on releases from San Diego and West Coast punk groups, has been acclaimed and copied by bands and labels around the globe. As the music scene in San Diego has slowed, so has the release schedule of Gravity Records, but the label's existing catalogue will remain relevant and inspiring for as long as we all shall breathe.

This slow, angular, soft-to-loud San Diego band calls to mind half-remembered dreams, forgotten plans, and ancient unresolved fears.

Heroin
This seminal San Diego hardcore band wields an out-of-control hose that sprays corrosive bursts of liquid fire into your ears, which then slide through your ear canals and into your skull, making you dizzy and disturbed like you've never been before.

Physics
A calculated experiment true to its name. Guitars, synthesizers, and drums build intricate, hypnotic, and powerful walls of sound that will alternately soothe and startle you.

Three Mile Pilot
Veteran San Diego band Three Mile Pilot eschew rock and roll orthodoxy, sculpting eerie indie rock landmarks with winding songs that explore the soul and the psyche. The result is a uniquely angular, loping sound that's sometimes disorienting and apocalyptic, but always forward-looking.
