There Is Only One Truth And That Is This BIN Is Too High

xCHIPxSEM — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I think it’s pretty safe to say that munstermunson1 is aiming a little high with this one. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Strife and I love a good collegiate font hoodie but that BIN is a little bit much. Did the seller piss on this thing? 4 bulldogs = oof.

A Strife For Every Season

xCHIPxSEM — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:14:39 +0000

It really seems like x614x has something for everyone. How about a Strife short sleeve, long sleeve and a hoodie? Sure, 2 of them were Victory prints but the first is their version of the Smorgasbord rip off. Not exactly a complete rip but still a good look. This was printed in at least 2 other colorways (White on black and yellow on navy) with the yellow on navy being my favorite.

The long sleeve is from “In This Defiance” and features artwork from the record. Looks like it was quickly thrown together by the label but I still dig it.

This was the design the label sold for years after the band broke up. No signs of a bulldog or the label name so those of you that suffer from Bulldogitus can rest easy.

I love the 90s hooded edition

These hoods from itshowmanytimes are really on some Chip Sem type shit but hes sleeping and I need something to post about :) At the time when Strife was really big I caught them a few times and it was a blast. I think the first time I saw them was at the Tune Inn in New Haven CT when they were filming some VHS for victory. Good gig. Lots of stagediving. I tried to revisit some of those records while writing this post and I cant hang anymore. Then again my musical tastes have probably just gotten grumpier over the years.

All I really know about the Path is that they have multiple singers and my friend Erik McGloin is lurinking on the cover in a window. I never got a chance to catch this band live. Infact I dont even know how much they actually played out. Was it a regular thing or just a sometimes deal?

Is This Our Destiny?

A lot of people pick “In This Defiance” over “One Truth” when it comes to Strife. I am not one of those people…”One Truth” is and always will be my favorite Strife record. Being that they were on Victory Records, their merch was mass marketed and this “Grey” design from electrichorror is THE example. For some reason I can only recall this being printed on Navy and this Green…the shirt was printed seriously from 1996 til probably 2004. There had to be more color combinations…still a great look. The picture is cropped so you can’t see it but yes, there is a bulldog on the sleeve. I own both the navy and green so I won’t be bidding on this one but if you still dig Strife, have at it.

Where’re Your Dogs At?

No dogs up on this, and we like that. Granted, the sleeve print is a dead giveaway, but you know what? I can live with that. It’s not offensive to me. And given how crisp xdaytonx has kept this Strife hood, I have no room for complaints. Not even the lack of string can bring me down. Usually I forget to bid on items, but this time, I’m totally going to remember to bid on this one.

Anyone catching Strife in South America? Let us know how you are digging them.

Strife New Age Records long sleeve

Casali — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 22:00:26 +0000

Now this is what a Strife shirt is supposed to look like. This baby has the 7″ artwork and plain and simple sleeve print. I love this one just for the fact it is pre Victory/bulldog. The only thing that would make this one any better would be the mention of the straight edge. I actually find it a little odd that it’s not on this shirt, particularly from this time period. Great shirt, and I expect to to do big things.

Strife One Truth shirt

Casali — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 23:00:46 +0000

This Strife shirt for sale by xdanex is a love/hate kind thing for me. I love that back shot, and the fact that this is a band made shirt. What that means dear readers is NO BULLDOGS! What I hate about it is the front logo. Always have, always will. The last time I posted a shirt like this, you guy ate it up. Shows you what I know. SO in closing, No Bulldogs and a great back photo edges out the poor front logo. Bonus points for wearing this with JNCOS.

The seller was trying to track down more info about it. How many pressed, what era, … Anyone know? Paging Drew Kline …

ZORLAC SKATEBOARDS STRIFE HOODIE

naidoo — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:39:05 +0000

I was not sure if I should post this on SkateNoize, but I figured it was a core related item so maybe it belongs here. Back in the late 90′s after Strife’s second album In this Defiance dropped on Victory Records Zorlac Skateboards released a Strife deck and this hoodie. I’m not a big fan of this Hoodie I don’t particularly care for the birds flying around a live a shot of Rick. It looks like the birds are smoking cigarettes. Zorlac has been known for its core related merch and skateboards. I noticed that they reissued a few decks I wonder if they will reissue the Strife and H20 deck. bettysstealsndeals is selling this and many other great hoodies.

Update: skate deck just added. Thanks Robert!

Prohibition … 2000?

b. murphy — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 13:02:26 +0000

In the early 90s, there was a great throw together band called Prohibition. Sweet Pete (Prohibition) sang, Ed McKirdy (Hands Tied, Skull Crusher) played bass, Drew Kline (Strife YO!) played guitar, Sid Strife on drums. There was also a cast of rotating members (hell, every member could probably be considered in this rotation) Mike Hartsfield, Justin Moulder (Suburban Fanzine), Brian Maryansky, Chris Daily, … I’m sure there were plenty more**. They played gigs when each dude was in the same room. So maybe 3 gigs total. It’s hard when dudes live in California, Boston and Jersey/NYC/wherever Ed was living at the point (could have been Boston, but he’s a hermit). How many times were Strife, Undertow, Hands Tied and Sweet Pete all in the same room?

Regardless, I think they last time they played was 95. Could have been 93 even. But I guess I’m wrong, and this shirt from zombieritual83 proves it. Who knew they played again around 2000? I did not, but I’m sorry to have missed it. I knew they were all straight edge, and definitely did plenty of straight edge covers. I did not realize they were so militant. It’s weird, Pete’s a pretty laid back dude. I know he rolls with some dudes who are not straight edge. Same with Andrew and his hip hop crew. Those dudes — not straight edge. Same goes for Ed. I mean, seriously, Ed hangs out with Tim McMahon… But this shirt is proof. Hardline. I’ll probably be bidding big on this one since it is an unknown artifact to me. So please, keep back.

Straight Edge Revenge!

** thanks to Pete and Andrew for filling in the names I had forgotten. Much appreciate.
