Seasoned SoCal punk rock icons The Dickies crack open their crusty old sock drawer and unearth a bevy of unreleased musical treasures. Balderdash From The Archives is the first ever rarities collection from the group and stretches all the way back to the band’s mid-‘80s salad days through the ‘90s and into the 21st century. The collection includes both live and studio gems, rough demos and alternate versions, and songs that have never appeared anywhere else!
