I never got this album (or this band for that matter). The artwork felt like a direct and weirdo Obey rip off. Maybe that is what they were going for, maybe that’s what they wanted. I don’t know. It just didn’t capture my attention.
It did sit in the Newbury Comic bin for many years though. I bet Tre owns this album.
I swear to god I have a magnet on wacky mid 90s tees. Like they seek me out. I don’t go looking for these, but rather, they seek me out. Everything about this tee SCREAMS mid 90s. First, it’s a Brother’s Keeper tee. That’s some mid era 90s metal rock core. Add the ringer tee (oooff, terrible. Ringers and baseball tees make my most hated tshirt styles. Unless they start making capped sleeves in mens sizes, ringers will always be the bottom of the barrel. Exceptions: Bold Ringer, FPC Ringer). Then check the weird tribal on the back. I don’t get it. It’s mesmerizing.
To cap it off, check that belly print. Double ooofffff. If it didn’t work for Smorgasbord (sorry, I believe in going vegetarian but that shirt is a little over the top silly), it definitely won’t work for Brother’s Keeper. This feels like a Chip Sem shirt. We shall see.
