Let’s Go Get Cokes
The word “Coke” appears 20 times in Mountain View and 17 of those are for the drink.
The Faction is my favorite Bay Area skate punk band. Dark Room with Let’s Go Get Cokes came out in 1985 and I’ve had it in my collection ever since! Steve Caballero rhythm guitar! Artwork by Lance Mountain!
