Who Remembers Prema?

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/22/2012

You know, barfight brings up a good point. When was the last time you saw someone with a Prema shirt? When was the last time you listened to Prema? I’m currently listening for the first time in years and I have to say I still dig it. They definitely flew under the radar when it [...]

Fastbreak

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/22/2012

Seriously how good was Fastbreak’s first full length “Fast Cars, Fast Women”? I can still put it on today and run through all 11 tracks (if you count “Hate Your Way”) without skipping any. Pat Rorick is still one of my favorite frontmen…so much energy. They came down in 1998 or 1999 with Ten Yard [...]

Have Heart And The Great Wave

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/21/2012

I’m not much of an art guy. I just never had the interest in going to museums and looking at different works of art but I can definitely appreciate it. “The Great Wave” is one of my favorites and to say that this is my favorite Have Heart shirt would be an understatement. It’s pretty [...]

Champion And The Aramarang

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/21/2012

The thing that sticks out most to me about the Champion “Live In Australia” 7 inch and t-shirt was the story that Jim told about Aram and the boomerang. Makes me laugh…the old “we’re foreigners so we don’t know any better” story. Track it down if you haven’t heard it. Anyway, I really dig the [...]

The Shortest Straw Has Been Pulled For You

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/20/2012

silverruins is another of those vintage sellers who throws a random price on their tees expecting someone to pay for it. The only thing that silverruins has going for them is the fact that they have over 100 old Metallica shirts up for sale. Sure there’s a few later era tees but they make up [...]

Chaos AD 1994

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/20/2012

dilltimothy has been posting some great stuff this past week but my gripe with nearly every one has been the lack of info he provides. Take this Sepultura tour shirt for example. Sure, I can see that it was for the 1994 tour but is it a Blue Grape tee? No tag so that doesn’t [...]

What Did I Tell You? 88 Miles Per Hour!!!

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/19/2012

As I stated last week, The Mongoloids are a merch machine and regularly have new merch but this might be my favorite so far. I mean, cmon…its Christopher Lloyd. Back To The Future has been on lately and although I own it on DVD and Bluray, I still watch it when it’s on. Classic. rachelhellz [...]

Paris State Of Mind

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/19/2012

I know a bunch of my friends are into Kickback so they might like this tee from vvermines. Never been a huge fan but I can get down with some of their material. I’m not very familiar with the soccer (football)) clubs of the world but the seller says this is a take on the [...]

Beware

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/18/2012

I have to admit I have yet to hear the Beware demo. If anyone has a site that’s streaming it, I’d love to hear it (unless the band is selling it). In the meantime, I know the band is picking up some steam and savagelacix631 has this longsleeve up which I’m assuming was bought recently. [...]
