The Offspring - Greatest Hits

First to recommend

Description

These guys went to my rival high school (granted it was years and years before I was there). I see them at the local mall, weird - their music is awesome and authentic OC styling.

'Sublime' Sublime

Description

Okay, so Long Beach is technically LA County but Sublime belongs to all of SoCal. Their music is timeless and game changing. It is a shame that their reign was cut tragically short.

This vintage reproduction is a great way to bring a little bit of Orange County's history into your home. Tustin, though, lacks orange trees these days.
