Alex Botkin of Sarchasm and Lavasocks Records speaks candidly on the bands' final record (Conditional Love) and their farewell gigs at the end of December! The history of Sarchasm goes back 12 years and they will forever live on in East Bay DIY lore and beyond, as staples of the scene and community. Forever gratitude, Sarchasm forever...
