Scud The Disposable Assassin.
This is a nice cross post to remind you to read ComicNoize.com.
As I recall, here’s the story of Scud: The Disposable Assassin.
It’s the future, and robot assassins can be purchased out of vending machines. They are given one task, and after completing that task, they are supposed to self destruct. Somehow, like Johnny 5, this Scud decides he has more important shit to do with his life then self destruct. He busts up his target but does NOT kill. He then spends the next however many issues being a hired gun. The funds gained from these errands go to pay the hospital bill of the original target. You see how that works? Pretty cool little book.
Now, this Bane shirt came about because Bedard is a big fan of the series. This is a great twist on the usual Bane logo tee for the front, and adding a page graphic onto the back is an excellent look. I’m sure Rob Schrab would appreciate.

Statue is that Rev release that I like but always forget about. Whenever it pops up on shuffle I am psyched though. I would be psyched to have this shirt. Im a huge fan of that particular sleeve print. I think it looks so sharp on any shirt. Im interested to see what this goes for.
btw – anyone have mp3s for “something to say” demo? hook it up

More red longsleeves! This band has the honor of being one of the two bands that was on both Revelation Records and Victory. The other being WarZone. (there could be more but this is off the top of my head and Im not going to comb through the victory catalogue). Dont be fooled though this band is no where near as cool as WarZone. Infact they might be the opposite of WarZone. I was at a show that Iceburn played at once. I was pretty much bored out of my mind. Is anyone like for reals into this band? Like a real fan and would actually go see them on purpose? This shirt also suffers from “bulldog-itus” and has victory logos on the 3 of the 4 sides. ouch!

I cant state enough how much i hate the graphic and placement of the caveman on the front of this shirt. Ive always hated that stupid caveman. On the other hand Ive heard a lot of people say they dont like the jungle graphic on the back with the purple lettering. I am actually a big fan of that, go figure. The color and placement of this shirt scream 90s. This does have the bonus sleeve print though and its faded oh so slightly. I think the starting bid is too high for this particular shirt but maybe you think its cheap??? If so get that bargin!!

Here is another cool BIN from the seller of the Turning Point shirt. An original No For An Answer Jack Daniels rip off long sleeve. This guy loves rip off shirt, eh?

Strife.
2002. Rise Again.
Strife is one of those bands that will never break up. Every time you think they are playing a reunion show, they are in fact just playing ANOTHER gig. I think they played a few gigs in 2009. Maybe 2010 will see another one.
As for this tee, baseball tees rank up there with ringer tees and navy blue shirts. Seems too gimmicky for me. Granted, I’ve been rocking those new Nike SB v-neck tees a lot lately. Love that dri-fit, tight v-neck. Anyone got one in size Large for me? I could use a few more.
The design of this tee seems a little off too. Maybe the screens weren’t registered properly or aligned perfectly. Dunno.

Up for Buy It Now is a Turning Point Beastie Boys rip off shirt from the reunion show in 95. The seller states that it came from the collection of Jay from Turning Point. If you have been looking for one of these, now is your chance to pounce on it.

I saw Battery a few times back in the day.
It was always a good time.
Best time? Probably that Valentines Day gig in Boston with Reach The Sky, Piebald and Bane. Great, great, great show.
After they released that second LP, they sort of flopped. After that LP, the only person who still seemed into them was Blair. He still backed them. No one else did.
This tshirt is a good example of a terrible front with a good knock off on the back (notice the grandfathered Step Forward Records “Drug Free”).
This one, I’m into. US Tour 97.

Original Inside Out shirt purchased at the Anthrax. How much more do you need to know about the history of this one! Looks to be in great condition. This is they type of shirt you could wear anywhere without people asking dumb questions about your attire.
Rare early shirt from an amazing band.
