Alternative Tentacles Mixtape!

Digital mixtape dedicated to Jello Biafra’s label which is about to release Wreck –  seventh full-length from Unsane.

Historical note

Alternative Tentacles is an independent record label originally based in San Francisco, California and was established in 1979. It was originally used as the label name by the Dead Kennedys for the self-produced single “California Über Alles”, and after realizing the potential for an independent label, they released records for other bands as well. Dead Kennedys guitarist East Bay Ray and vocalist Jello Biafra formed the original Alternative Tentacles partnership, but the label is now run by Biafra, who became the sole owner in the mid-1980s.
