Portland's least relevant punk rock band. We're 800 Octane. We play music that can best be described as skate punk mixed with horror and b-movie sensibilities.

We're from Portland, Oregon and although you've probably never heard of us we've been around since 1994, have played lots of shows, been on several tours and have put out a few albums.

Another poster design. This one was a silk screen we had designed by a local artist named Matt Dye. We had him sign the first 100 and gave many of these out to members of our street team, when that was still a thing.

Our album release poster game was pretty strong for a while.

Jul 2005 | To close out our "30 days of photographs", these were taken at the House of Blues in Hollywood, when we got to open for Tiger Army for two sold out nights in a row. By this point, Jim had already moved away, and Dustin was deep into his time as our drummer. Quite honestly, this is one of the absolute fondest memories we have of him, as he had worked so hard, with so many bands, to get to play at a show like this. We were tight as we've ever been, practicing 2 to 3 times a week for well over a year at this point. We had played a few "real" venues over the years, but getting to load into a place like the House of Blues was exceptional. Getting to leave your stuff there between nights was even more exceptional. Even though the photographs are kind of bland, as far as memories go, this is absolutely one of our high points.

May 1998 | Some very old pics from Spokane while we were still a three piece. We think these were taken by Lyle from Bomf!, who wound up being our second guitar player for a few months, before Justin took over.

Oct 2003 | These are from the Halloween show featured on the Rise Again DVD. This was easily one of the most fun shows we ever played.

Oct 2004 | We got to play with "The Misfits" a few times in the mid 2000's in Portland and Bend. Justin and Eric took time to pose in front of their amps for photos. Dave took the opportunity to start lifting their weights.
