Underwhelming Battery Hood

b. murphy / 09/07/2010

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this one of the most underwhelming hoods ever produced? Battery is cool, and we have seen plenty of GREAT Battery merch lately, but this one is pretty blah. It’s old, no doubt. Mid 90s certainly. And somehow it managed to escape belly button / kidney print. But even that can’t help it. It’s just missing something. Something a little more “in your face.” Granted, this hood from blastbeatx would be greatly improved with two words, “Straight Edge.” Yeah, you be the judge.

Actually not that old. It was printed and sold by Revelation when they signed and released “Whatever it Takes”. The design works better on a tshirt but on a hoodie, the design is just too small.

this one has a tiny revelation logo on the back, right under the hood. black and white. I got it at a shelter show (battery didn`t play, no idea why they had it at the merch) I kinda like the tiny print for once.

Luca: Graham from Battery was playing with Shelter for a while so maybe they were selling leftover merch? That would be my guess

i recently found out graham and i went to to the same school (private/montessori school). I was a bit younger though. My next school (high school years) had such alumni as Henry ROllins and Dave Ward (orig damnation ad drummer)
