Invasion used to be this band…

By jbil | Published 11/03/2011

Im taking the selling of this shirt from trumbullmarket as a diss!
The first shirt I ever drew and it looks like shit. I had no idea what I was doing. I didnt pick the colors. I had less than a week to draw it all while going to school full time and working. It is the product of a rush job and a lack of experience. To make up for it I redid this shirt with an all new drawing for the Invasion reunion gig a couple years back and it was also a week long rush job but I think it came out a lot better. For what its worth I still love the first shirt just because of what it is, the time period it represents, and the friends I did it for :) The show that these were sold at was a pretty good gig too. Shirts and demos flew off the table. I love that pretty much all demos were a taped over tape with a lyric sheet attached by a rubber band!

A bigger size for the Mental shirt I posted yesterday. Maybe we can get a full size run up this week?? Get yours from trumbullmarket.

BIN Mental Hoodie

By jbil | Published 11/02/2011

I guess trumbullmarket hates Mental, the Mental Crew, and the LOC. That can be the only explination for letting this hoodie go! No other reason makes sense. Printed in a very small quanitity in a colorway I picked to match some vans I had. The printers printed the image too small and said that it couldnt be printed any bigger because of the pockets on the front but I think that is just bullshit. I think they fucked up and didnt enlarge the graphic like they were supposed to and just tried to cover their ass. C`est lat vie. A white hoodie is a bitch to keep clean but if you have what it takes than take a stab at that BIN. legit ones of these dont pop up too often

Fat Heads Need Not Investigate

By b. murphy | Published 10/26/2011

American Nightmare was quite possibly the biggest hardcore band in the 2000s. They were huge. Toured everywhere. Big venues, lots of kids. Tons of fans, merch was skyrocketing. Through all of that, the dudes in the band maintained smallish egos. None of them got fat heads. If they owned this sweatshirt from xdontbreaktheoathx, they’d be in luck. You see, the first printing of these hoods were on the weakest hoods. The bodies were great, but the hoods were TINY. Like pinheads only. It was a bit of a bummer. The second printing was MUCH better. I’m sure the Shop Shogun printing is even better.

ps. You know Chauncey agrees with me.

Blood For Blood and High Tea

By b. murphy | Published 10/25/2011

I’ve been watching the Blood For Blood video from the Glasshouse. October 22, 2011. Have a peep (shot by our friend Tru, by the way).

I’m fairly certain this crowd is full of well mannered young adults, biscotti and tea sippers. Seriously. Where’s the mayhem? Where’s the carnage? Where’s a SINGLE FUCKING STAGE DIVE? Granted, it’s also missing a lot of witty banter from White Trash Rob. Some of the songs are sloppy, but I found myself doing lots of seat-moshing while watching this video. If you are a seat mosher, you may want to pick up this polo shirt from badinplaid1223 too. Looks solid while doing your taxes or reading the WSJ.

Stop And Bootleg?

By b. murphy | Published 10/22/2011

I’m not going to say definitively that this Stop And Think shirt is a bootleg, but I’m leaning in that direction. A few things just feel funky about it. First, the blue color is real dark. I can chalk that up to the lighting, I suppose. Normally, the slate color is very pale. This almost looks navy. Second, the spacing between the letters seems off. Comparing it to my tshirt, all the letters look super cramped. I’ll give points for this message in the description, “I just wanna say, non-serious bidders Get Lost because Some Die For This.” +1. But before bidding, I’d ask fightthestruggle a few questions. Definitely find out what brand of tshirt this was printed on. Good luck. If you get more info, let us know.

Won’t Take No More – 2011

By b. murphy | Published 09/22/2011

WTF? How did this shirt drop without me seeing it? I see aljor picked it up in August so maybe it was just released at a gig I didn’t attend. Which sucks. Missing Free Spirit is not a habit I want to create. Poor trend. Solid tiger though. Intense. Plus, the shirt has everything I can appreciate. Solid graphic, simple font, a date, a location, … I’m even a fan of the grey. Into it.

One Of A Kind Mental Tee

By b. murphy | Published 09/21/2011

Back when Lockin Out HQ was at 21 Mt Vernon, there was a bin next to the door full of tshirts. Mostly RJ and Mental tees. Lots of newer designs or RJ euro tour tees. I always assumed they were leftovers from various tours and just never got sold. What I do recall is that there were a bunch of the two sided version of this shirt in that box. This one and the MENTAL upright outline design. Plus, a shit ton of size small Righteous Jams tees. Looking back, that box is an ebay gold mine. I hope Greg still has it.

I wish mikeylizard explained where he got this tshirt. I suspect he knows someone from NJ, but I can’t be positive. I don’t think this shirt EVER came on this color. I recall white and grey. Never royal blue. Pretty cool.

IME est 1997

By jbil | Published 09/19/2011

Mctwist5 is selling a nice simple clean looking IME tee. This is the kind of shirt that is going to go for super cheap now a days but in like 10 years dudes are going to be fiending after it. Even if it doesnt rise in value this is the kind of graphic that will still look classic in 10-15 years. IME did a great job with this one!
