Happy New Year! It has been a rough couple of years for many of us, but we are hoping that 2022 will be a great year. George Jetson was born in 2022, so we think that it's a good sign that the world will soon be full of flying cars and everyone will have robot maids. Soylent Green also took place in 2022.... So maybe we will all be eating humans this year. Or perhaps this year will be unlike any books, movies, sitcoms, or cartoons in the past. I guess only time will tell.
Bad Stain has a lot of plans for 2022. Bad Stain Noize Weapons will be releasing a few new items in the near future, so make sure to check The Armory for updates. We will also be having some super amazing sales that musicians will want to take advantage of, with deals that serious musicians looking for high quality products are going to love!
Bad Stain Records will be doing a lot as well, releasing new music from Daisy Moonshine and The City Boys, Johnny Laundromat and The Drycleaners, Daymes Rocket, and more! Although the thing that we are most excited about is the new Arizona Local Legends Series coming to Bad Stain Records in the summer of 2022.
The Arizona Local Legends series will feature releases from select Arizona based recording artists that had a powerful impact on the Valley's local music scene, but never achieved any mainstream commercial success. Each release will feature a different local artist that has influenced other bands during their career, and inspired a whole new generation of musicians to create and play music. The releases will feature music from each of the bands on a USB flashdrive, along with other goodies such as bio's, song lyrics, videos, photo's, and more!
Bad Stain Records is proud to announce that the Arizona Local Legends Collection first volume will be the Phoenix punk rock band The Generiks. The Generiks formed in Phoenix way back in 1986, and their raw punk sound engaged hardcore fans throughout the Valley. The band performed with dozens of popular touring national acts throughout the years, drawing in hundreds of fans when they performed local shows. The Generiks spent the 90's touring extensively across the U.S., performing at iconic venues like The Whiskey and CBGB's. In 2000, the band called it quits, but got back together in 2004 for a special reunion performance.
Arizona Local Legends Collection Volume #1 will contain MPS files of every Generiks song ever released, as well as twelve previously unreleased studio tracks that the band recorded for their last album which was never released. The flashdrive also includes a live recording of the bands reunion performance, plus a PDF file with a band biography, music videos, JPEG files of band photo's and old concert flyers, and tons more! Check out the AZ Local Legends page for more info!
That's about it for now, but check back as the year progresses, and make sure to like us on Facebook and subscribe to the Bad Stain YouTube channel, and follow us on Instagram....and so on..... Fuck there are too many social media sites today.

Bad Stain Noize Weapons is excited to release our latest instrument, just in time for the holiday season. Introducing the BSNW Hypersonic Corvette....
The Bad Stain Noize Weapons Hypersonic Corvette Electric Guitar is a near exact replication of the iconic limited edition Gibson Corvette that was originally released in 1995. The Gibson Corvette was a limited edition build by Gibson Custom Shop and Chevrolet to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the release of the Chevy Corvette. The original Gibson Corvette was a modified design of the Gibson Les Paul, and only 200 guitars were manufactured. When the Gibson Corvette was released in 1995, it had a price tag of $2,000. Now, they are virtually impossible to find, and if you can find one, they can run upwards of $10,000 or more! BSNW chose to replicate the Corvette almost exactly like the original. The BSNW Hypersonic Corvette features “Corvette” inlaid into the fretboard using faux white opal, just like the original. The guitar also features “Gibson” and the Corvette logo on the front of the headstock, like the original Gibson Corvette. The Hypersonic Corvette also has a reflective mirror style truss rod cover, pickup switch cover and control panel cover, just like many Gibson Custom Shop builds, including the Corvette. The truss rod cover is silk-screened with “1960”, to mark the year that Chevy first introduced the Corvette, and the pickup selection switch cover is silk-screened with a Chevy Corvette design, just like the original Gibson Corvette. All 200 Gibson Corvette guitars featured a VIN instead of the usual serial number engraved into the back of the headstock. Each Hypersonic Corvette has “VIN 5180” engraved into the back, because that VIN was never used by Gibson. Gibson requested that we use that VIN so that the guitars can be identified as a replica. The actual serial number for each guitar is located under the control panel cover. The Hypersonic Corvette has the same style volume and tone control knobs as the original and Grover tuning machines, just like the original. The pickup selection switch features a bullet shell knob, like most other BSNW guitars, and has BSNW Hypersonic Series Mach Nine humbucking pickups, giving it a scorching tone. The BSNW Hypersonic Corvette is a limited edition build, and only nine guitars will be manufactured. Each guitar is individually numbered, and the guitar number is located under the control panel, next to the serial number. The Hypersonic Corvette is available in black & red, black & white, sky blue & white, sea foam green & white, and fire orange & white. Each Hypersonic Corvette comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The new limited edition BSNW Hypersonic Corvette is the perfect gift for the holiday season. After all, everyone dreams of getting a Corvette for Christmas or Hanukkah! Check out the Hypersonic Corvette by visiting The Armory. Purchase the guitar online at the Official Bad Stain Facebook Shop.
