Guttermouth - The Album Formerly Known As Full Length LP (1996)

Full Length LP is the debut album by the Huntington Beach, California punk rock band Guttermouth, released in 1991 by Dr. Strange Records. It introduced the band's style of fast, abrasive punk rock with tongue-in-cheek humor and sarcastic lyrics. The album was originally released as an LP but was repackaged the following year as a CD including tracks from the band's first 2 EPs Puke and Balls, as well as the previously unreleased tracks "Malted Vomit" and "Ghost." It was re-released again in 1996 by Nitro Records under the title The Album Formerly Known as Full Length LP.
The album proved to be a success for the band, expanding their fan base and giving them opportunities to play shows all over southern California alongside other popular punk rock bands. An animated music video was made for the song “1, 2, 3…Slam!” and played on local punk rock and skateboarding video programs. Many of the songs from Full Length would remain staples in the band's live set throughout their career.

Guttermouth - Teri Yakimoto

Teri Yakimoto is the third album by the Huntington Beach, California punk rock band Guttermouth, released in 1996 by Nitro Records. It was their first album with bass player Steve Rapp and continued the band's style of fast, abrasive punk rock with tongue-in-cheek humor and sarcastic lyrics. This time, however, the band experimented with more melody and pop influence. By all accounts the recording process was plagued with problems, and at one point most of the recordings were scrapped and re-recorded with a new producer. A music video was filmed for the song “Whiskey” and the album became the band's only to reach the Billboard Heatseakers chart, reaching #33.

Guttermouth - Gorgeous (1999)

Gorgeous is the sixth album by the Huntington Beach, California punk rock band Guttermouth, released in 1999 by Nitro Records. It was the band's most aggressive album to date, due in part to a lineup change: bass player Steve Rapp had left the group and drummer James Nunn had taken over his position, making room for new drummer Ty Smith (credited here as T. Bradford). It would also be the band's last album for Nitro, as they moved to Epitaph Records the following year.

Guttermouth - Shave The Planet (2006)

The word "punk" is thrown around a lot these days and unfortunately, it's been misrepresented in every way, shape, and form. Then there's California's Guttermouth, the true definition of punk rock: loud, fast, and truly offensive. This is their tenth album. Their infamous tongue-in-cheek humor and hyper songs remain poignant to the times today; lambasting the politicians, the scenesters, and even their own audience.

Great Mother: Holy Monster is the bands Bridge 9 debut with 8 tracks of a crushing aural assault.

Nails - Abandon All Life (2013)

NAILS is beyond brutality. These grindcore tyrants of the American underground have triumphantly returned with their 2nd full length "ABANDON ALL LIFE"!  These 10 tracks of barbaric rage have no resemblance to the laughable retro party metal that passes as extreme music in today’s world. Abandon All Life viciously carpet bombs the listener with a horrifying brand of Death/ Grind/ Hardcore chaos. Bludgeoning beatdowns, grinding blasts, hyper-distorted vocals, hard-hitting metallic chugs and early death metal riffs intensifies to a climatic end where the guitars wail and militant drum breakdowns send us marching. With profound hatred, the howling war cry of ABANDON ALL LIFE shows NAILS as a band without equal in their class.
