Owner of Singapore based underground label Slap Bet Records/Vanilla Thunder, Faisal, has put up a series of amazing photos documenting some of his prized record collection representing Asian punk/hardcore releases on vinyl. When we looked through Faisal’s instagram feed we were blown away by not only his collection, but all the incredible captions that accompany his posts.
Faisal sent in the following explaining his participation:
“Well, I’ve been following the monthly vinyl challenges on Instagram and am always fascinated with what’s in other people’s collections. I have seen the Chung King LP so many times and of course it is one the most expensive hardcore records to date. While all these IG challenges open me up to a wide world of the US hardcore scenes, which is great, it lacks coverage of the South East Asian scene. I have always tried to archive as many regional releases as I can and when I saw a possible platform to post these releases, I decided to join one of these monthly challenges. For example, today is day 10 of the challenge and I’ve posted the Tank Girl LP by a DIY punk band from Nepal.”
