Pacifiction Records is an online CD shop specializing in rare and independent Asian music. The store was founded by Martian Shane (a.k.a. Martian Radical) who spent over a year in Taiwan going to rock shows and fests at every chance. Upon returning to NY in 2005, he documented what he saw in a website called Island of Sound . While working at the independent punk label Radical Records in NYC, Marty got the idea to go into business for himself selling unheard and rare music from Asia to the rest of the world.
UPDATE:
The no-wave influenced poetry rock group FLIGHT OF IDEA is coming to NYC next week. Please take a look at their schedule and google the venue names for more information!
PS. We are still looking for a venue for the October 19th!
HALLOWEEN UPDATES:
We're getting ready for Halloween here at Pacifiction Records! Listen to some of the darker songs on our playlist and keep an eye out for some Halloween sales!
For some new Taiwan punk CDs, please visit the page below. Pacifiction Records now co-operates with the new youth punk label ZMN Records which has recently released several pop punk EPs by SEMI-CON, DUCT TAPE and STAY GOLD. We also got one of Taiwan's favorite taike punk bands the wild CHILDREN SUCKER as well as the Japanese/Taiwanese psychobilly, rockabilly and surf combo FULLHOUSE. Several expat punk outfits such as CONSIDER THE MEEK and THE DEPORTED make appearances on a split CD and anti-materialist SELLING US EVERYTHING brave the saccharine Asian pop culture with their new full length album Product Jingles. And it's all coming off a tiny pirate island in the Pacific!
