Here we go! The second piece of merch from Sound And Fury 2011. This one is a little more appropriate. itsxdead is selling it for (one of??) the singer of Minority Unit. It’s a friends only hat that was limited to 12. Funny story about this hat. I manned the table for most of Sound And Fury, but when Minority Unit hit the stage, I knew I needed to watch and watch closely. Love this band. Great attitude, great vibe, great songs. Solid package. And in southern California, the crew was there to represent. It was one of my favorite sets of the weekend, no doubt. What took it over the top was the friends only tshirt. Every dude in the crew was wearing the black pocket print tee with “The Straight Edge” on the back. Simple tee, so fucking dope. During the set, it was basically a sea of people in this shirt stage diving, rocking the mic and moshing. I HAD to have one. After the set, and the panic that ensued during their merch table set up, Rudy came by and hit me up. He thanked me for shouting out Minority Unit all the time, and asked if I wanted some of the friends only merch. You know my jaw dropped and I barely squeaked out a “hell fucking yes!” An hour later, he stopped by the table again and handed me a snapback. The snapback you see below. They were even more rare than the tees, so I’m told. I was humble, but still dreamt about the tee. Fast forward 2 days, and I’m talking to Joey from 6131 Records. Turns out, he got a shirt but really wanted the hat. You know what happened next. Crucial trade. And everyone went home super fucking happy.
On a side note. Shout outs to Rudy, Guzman, Enrique and everyone else in the Minority Unit crew. It was great to finally meet you all. Keep The Faith!
