We have added a few more new items to the armory, just in time for the holiday season. We are excited to introduce the new Wickenburg Bass Guitar, the Queen Creek Practice Amp, and the Anthem Electric Guitar.
The Wickenburg Bass has a P-Bass style body with "C" shaped neck and features our best selling pickups, Bad Stain FrankenStains for P-Bass. The new bass guitar is an amazing low price of only $259.
The new Queen Creek solid state 20 amp practice amp is similar to our Tortilla Flats practice bass amp, and is lightweight and perfect for solo practicing. Best of all, both amps are available for under $50!
The new Bad Stain Anthem Electric Guitar is our lowest priced guitar we have ever released, and is also the very first fully electric guitar from Bad Stain that is not a limited edition build. The Anthem has a Fender Strat style body made from basswood and a maple neck. The Anthem features our new Bad Stain Siren single coil pickups, that are exclusively made for the Anthem, and not available to purchase individually. The Anthem is available for the low price of $248.00!

It's only a week away from Halloween, which is easily one of the best holidays. Every year Halloween allows us to be someone different for one evening, and it lets us show off our creative side with unique costumes. It gives us the chance to see cute little kids light up as you hand them candy, and if you go to a haunted house, it gives you the opportunity to get a scare. With that being said, we hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween!
As the end of the year gets closer, we have some announcements to make. For starters we want to apologize once again for the delay of the Arizona Local Legends Collection Volume #1 - Generiks USB Flashdrive. We expect the Flashdrive to be available before the end of the year, and the album should be available in digital format in the next few days. Daymes Rocket new single will also be available before the end of the year.
We also wanted to let everyone know that Dirty Laundry's latest release, Harmonies from the Hamper, has now sold over 400 copies of the three-disc box set. So we are sending out a HUGE thank you to all of the fans that have bought the album. The box set has sold out of the limited edition (Red Cover) first pressing that had a press run of 100 hand numbered copies, as well as the (Blue Cover) second pressing that had a press run of 200 hand numbered copies. We are currently selling copies of the (Green Cover) third pressing, that has a press run of 300 hand numbered copies. So hard core fans and collectors should act fast and get their copy as soon as possible, cuz we will eventually sell out of the third pressing and move on to the (Yellow Cover) fourth pressing, which has 400 hand numbered copies. After the fourth pressing is gone, we move on to the fifth and final pressing that has a press run of 1,000 copies, and when those are gone, the album is gone for good!
Everyone should take a trip to The Armory to take a look at the latest release from Bad Stain Noize Weapons, the new TINNITUS INDUCER humbucking pickups. The new pickups have a unique style and sound, and the easy drop in design makes installing the pickups a breeze! Bad Stain Noize Weapons have some new upcoming items that will be released in December and January, and we are very excited about them. We can't say too much, but some of the new items will be added as permanent items in our catalog, and one of the items being released in January will be a custom designed individually numbered limited edition build. We cannot reveal anything else at this time, but we will be releasing a series of posts on our Official Facebook and Instagram Pages, and each post will reveal another clue with more information about all of the new items being released in December and January.
Last, we want everyone to know that Johnny Laundromat and The Drycleaners have entered the studio to record their new full length album. If all goes as planned, Bad Stain will release the new full length album in late summer or early fall. Take care!

The day has finally almost arrived! We are very excited to announce that the Arizona Local Legends Collection Volume #1 featuring The Generiks will be available digitally tomorrow at Spotify, I-Tunes, and everywhere else you choose to download and/or stream music! Unfortunately, the physical album has been delayed, although we promise that the release will be on sale before the end of the year. The first pressing of the album features an alternate cover, and is a limited edition pressing of only 100 copies! You can pick up a physical copy of the album at your favorite mom and pop record shop, and residents of Arizona can get the album at all Zia Records locations.

It has been a rough past six weeks, due to the fact that I have been having some problems with my right leg. Due to these unfortunate series of events, I have been forced to delay the release of ARIZONA LOCAL LEGENDS COLLECTION VOLUME ONE - GENERIKS, and the new DAYMES ROCKET EP. I am very sorry for the delay, but we are hoping to release the albums around Halloween and will have an exact release date in the near future.
My leg has just caused a lot of problems, and it couldn't have happened at a worse time. After three visits to the Emergency Room, three ultrasounds, two CT scans, and a trip to my PCP, the doctors still haven't been able to diagnose the issue. However, I am set to see a vascular specialist in early October and hope to have answers.
I personally think that it's an infection from a zombie bite, because it looks pretty gnarly, but the doctors refuse to chop off my leg and insist that I have been watching too much "The Walking Dead". For now, I can only hope that I don't turn into a zombie. In the event that I do become a zombie, I want to let everyone know how grateful I am to have had such amazing fans of my music, and thank everyone who ever supported me, any of my bands, Bad Stain Records, or any of my other endeavors. If I do become a zombie, I hope that I will continue to write and release music, although it may become a bit heavier, maybe something like Rob Zombie, I'm not sure.
I don't know what the future holds, but please be patient and VOLUME ONE of ARIZONA LOCAL LEGENDS COLLECTION, featuring Generiks, and the new DAYMES ROCKET EP should be here soon! Also, I should note that the digital copy of ARIZONA LOCAL LEGENDS COLLECTION VOLUME ONE will still be available October 21st for streaming and downloading. The delay is only affecting the actual physical copies of AZ LLC VOL. 1 - GENRIKS, and hopefully those copies will be available in late October or early November.
Thank you, Chase Stain
