ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES

San Francisco, California

Alternative Tentacles Records was established in June of 1979 and is most likely one of the longest lasting, active underground record labels around. Not just a label, it is also a mailorder company selling its own wares, as well as a ton of underground t-shirts, books, dvds, and other merch.
