Never Stop Fighting

By b. murphy | Published 10/06/2011

Bane released their first pullover back in 1998. It featured a quote from ee cummings (originally, it was “misquoted” as EE Cummings). Here’s the quote. Think on it. It’s a good one.

To be nobody but yourself in a world that’s doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.

In this day and age, it’s hard to stay true to your own self. It’s not easy. But a lot of people recently have been stepping out and doing their own thing. From the Arab Spring unrest to Occupy Wall Street to any kid at any show standing up for what is right. Do your part, speak out.

As for the hood, this was probably the third iteration of this hood. You’ll notice the slightly skinnier graphic and blockier font, as compared to the original hood. But it has a back print (which also features blockier text, definitely a different screen from the original) so it’s not the last one that was printed. That hood was one sided. This one probably comes from 99 or 2000. Crazy, right?

Grab this from xchokeholdx. Not sure if this is Hundley, but you should check out Hava Java Coffee in Woonsocket RI.

BANE ALI VS. FRAIZER

By naidoo | Published 10/05/2011

So this mark the tenth anniversary of one my favorite hardcore albums of all time. Give Blood came out on Halloween of 2001, it the wake of 9-11. I remember going to see the New York record release show with Sick of It All at the Knitting Factory. This year Triple B will release this record on vinyl for the first time in ten years. The shirt that fightback is selling is also ten years old, maybe nine ask Murphy I’m sure he knows. There were two versions of this shirt made the colors on the back were different.The funny part is the misspelling of Smokin Joe Fraziers name. I’m really psyched to see the new layout for the reissue. Check out Bane on tour this fall with Defeater.

Foundation: The Bane Completist

By b. murphy | Published 09/20/2011

As you know, I’m a Bane completist. It’s what I do. Keeps me off the streets, out of gang warfare, off the crack … Sure, all of those things. So here’s the question. Does this Foundation shirt from stagedive5 count as an essential piece of Bane merch? These were printed up for the 2009 Bane/Foundation tour. I don’t recall seeing these shirts on sale at the time, or I surely would have bought one. And I saw these two play a few times on that tour. AT the ICC with Suicide File and Alpha & Omega. Then in September at Valentine’s in Albany, and of course, at the Edge Day gig. So to the other Bane completists out there, does this shirt make your list?

FC Five, Japanese Hardcore

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 09/11/2011

FC Five are a killer band from Japan that I got into back around 2003 or 2004 after Glasseater toured Japan with them. Great melodic band who became great friends with Bane and a few other Boston bands which would explain this design that krebstar1021 is selling. Red Sox logo on a tshirt from a band from Japan? Boston worship. Incredibly nice dudes…I hope I get to see them again.

NatexValue’s Yard Sale.

By morgado | Published 09/01/2011

Our pal Nate from Cruel Hand is engaging in that annual end of summer ceremony known as the yard sale. Of course, it’s 2011, so he’s doing so on eBay, but same difference. He’s got a couple windbreakers…

…and plenty of tees; some in lots…

…and some not.

(Altered!?! WAH!)

And with a the fall and winter right around the corner, he’s even got you and your neck covered with a scarf!

Plenty of stuff up in the other auctions as well, so be sure to take a look!

Bane world tour

By jbil | Published 08/22/2011

elite5n4k3 is posting upp another variation of the Bane shirt I drew for their tour last year. The colors on this one are slightly darker. I personally prefer the lighter one. My ultimate would have been the lighter shirt with the darker ink but whatevers. Im too picky. You can read about the other version here –> Lighter version

It All Comes Down to This….Mr.T

By naidoo | Published 08/21/2011

This Bane shirt is pretty old. I own one of course and so does Murphy, but that doesn’t say much. This shirt may have had cool intentions, but obviously it did not translate well in the finish product. The Japanese Kamikaze pilot looks like Mr.T. It’s just so sad. sajidgy is the kind of seller I like. He decided that instead of being a hoarder he would share some of his t-shirts that he does not wear anymore. I think that is great. You might as well make someone else happy if you can’t be happy with shirts you don’t wear. Me I suck I have almost every Bane shirt (missing maybe 10). I never wear them I just list them on HYE. I probably wear the same two Bane shirts over and over. I will probably die having never enjoyed my Bane shirts, and my girlfriend will sell them all on EBAY.

The Wind Will Break Your Fall

By b. murphy | Published 08/20/2011

When Bane released their last EP, the first time, in the UK (yeah, you keeping up?), Hurry Up Records dropped this hooded sweatshirt to match. You’ll notice the back image is the same as the cover of the ltd Dublin EP. The sleeve also features the words “Hurry Up Records.” I got one of these too (of course), and I’m not sure I’ve ever wore mine either. I love the front. Love, love, love the front. But the back image is HUGE. This would be Cushman’s definition of a billboard. Either way, shortysgotpop16 has it for a real decent opening bid. I’m guessing you could get it cheap. And if you want to pick up some of those EPs or the matching tshirt, head over to Hurry Up Records to get that gear.
