The graffiti-covered San Francisco shop that 'better not f-king fail'
Briefly

I Hate Records, co-owned by Cody Azumi and Pretty Sims, serves as a DIY punk den in San Francisco's Lower Haight neighborhood. Azumi, previously the vocalist of punk band Surprise Privilege, has transformed a former laundromat into a record store with assistance from friends. It showcases a variety of records from local hardcore bands to indie classics. Azumi and Sims aim to establish the store as a new home base for the local punk scene, drawing parallels to existing hotspots like Thrillhouse Records.
Cody Azumi, co-owner of I Hate Records, transitioned from vocalist in Surprise Privilege to entrepreneur, creating a DIY punk den that supports the local music scene.
I Hate Records is designed to be a home base for the San Francisco punk scene, similar to Thrillhouse Records, affirming the need for more such spaces.
