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.

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!

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

Words cannot express how excited we are to have signed the legendary local Arizona band, The Generiks. Generiks will be the first artist in our new Arizona Local Legends Collection, and the band will be releasing the complete catalog of their music on Bad Stain.
The Arizona Local Legends series features bands that have greatly inspired and influenced other local musicians and helped to shape the local music scene in Arizona, and we can't think of a better band worthy of being the first local legend than The Generiks. The Arizona Local Legends Collection Volume #1 - The Generiks, will be released on October 21st, 2022 on a special cassette style USB flashdrive. The flashdrive will contain the entire history of the band, including every song from every album The Generiks ever released, as well as twelve previously unreleased songs from the bands untitled final album, and a live recording of The Generiks reunion performance in 2004 at the Black N' Tan in Phoenix. In addition, the flashdrive will contain a biography written by Chase Stain, a discography featuring information about all of the band's releases, band member info, band photography, promotional pics and ads, old concert flyers, music videos. tour footage, and more!
The digital release of The Generiks material will be slightly different. Bad Stain will release The Generiks debut full length, "Constipation of Thought", as well as their second album, "Cactus Jelly Jive", and the bands last release, "Revenge of the Dung Beetle", all available to stream or download at a variety of sites ranging from YouYube and Spotify, to I-tunes, Pandora and Deezer. Bad Stain will also release a digital version of the Arizona Local Legends Collection Volume #1, featuring all of the tracks from the bands unreleased studio album, the live recordings of The Generiks reunion performance, and the "Don't Risk Infection" limited edition cassette that featured pre-production recordings of five select songs.
We have added The Generiks to our "BANDS" section on the official Bad Stain Records website, and you can read a short bio about the band and learn more. Stay tuned for release dates! We will be releasing all of the albums in digital format at various times between now and the release of the physical album on October 21st.
