The first Rival Mob shirt

By Lynn | Published 02/05/2012

Well when the Rival Mob set up a table at This is Hardcore a couple years ago I was pretty surprised when I saw that they were selling a shirt. I scooped up two size smalls and I was on my way. taylorkc is selling a medium and he is sad that he is out growing it, maybe someone with a large can help him out? Who would have thought that this shirt started all of the wild shirts that would come from them?
Hes offering a $35 BIN on the shirt if you REALLY need to own it.

Killing Time longsleeve

By Lynn | Published 02/03/2012

Well here we have the most generic Killing Time shirt again, this time being sold by remember-your-friends. I always feel like I need to give this shirt attention, because I love Killing Time so much. When you go to a fest you’ll always see at least one person wearing this shirt. The seller says that Organized Crime sold this shirt and I know I’ve seen them selling it at This is Hardcore. Add this hardcore staple to your shirt collection!

Floorpunch This is Hardcore

By Lynn | Published 10/11/2011

I remember seeing Floorpunch’s merch table at Sound & Fury and This is Hardcore in 2009 and thinking to myself that I’ve never seen so many boxes before. They had so much stuff and asianmattva is selling a green shirt that he got at This is Hardcore.

Kid Dynamite Philly Reunion T Shirt 2011

By naidoo | Published 09/13/2011

Well this didn’t take long considering the show was just two days ago. The best part is the picture of this shirt was taken on the stage of the First Unitarian Church. You can tell by the rug in the background. I did not attend this so I’m going according to the seller who says that only 48 of these shirts were printed. The shirt features a picture of Sean Agnew who runs R5 Productions in Philly, they are responsible for making all the awesome shows possible. I’m wondering why iwannabeabear didn’t want to enjoy this shirt himself. After all isn’t that why you buy them, to wear and enjoy. But I guess if you can flip it quick why not.

Horror Show Free Nicky Money

By naidoo | Published 09/11/2011

Before there was Free Weezy or Free Yayo shirts there was Free Nicky Money shirts. tmm3188 is selling one of these limited Nicky Money shirts that were sold during the incarceration of the Horror Show frontman’s time. Horror Show or as I like to call them Philadelphia Nightmare were an awesome band from the early 2000′s. They had a lot of Potential but it was cut short. Last year they reunited at TIHC 2010 and put some closure to their Legacy.

No More Games And No More Flipping?

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 08/17/2011

Look, I get it. Kids buy merch from popular bands to intentionally resell them…something that we tend to frown upon and call out on the regular. christoday emphasizes that he is not flipping this but he “just didn’t like the fit” when he bought it. Alright, I’m okay with that. I’ve had shirts in the past that I’ve bought that just didn’t fit me correctly (I’m looking at you American Apparel) but it trips me out that he says he “thought I’d enjoy it more”. Maybe he thought he was buying a Go-cart or something…anyway, pick up this Stick Together tee while its still at a reasonable price.

Mini This Is Hardcore 2011 – Wrap Up

By b. murphy | Published 08/16/2011

Honestly, I have no right to post a wrap up. I’d direct you over to the 50+ page b9 TIH wrap up or the b9 TIH merch wrap up. Both are chalk full of funny stories, merch pickups and other odds and ends. You see, I had to work both Friday and Monday from 8am to 6pm. That means I drove down Friday night, showing up in time to park next to the stage door. From there, I got to listen to Youth Of Today. I then spent all Saturday at the fest behind the Bane table hustling Tee Till Death tees and stickers or at the Blackbird Pizzeria table devouring vegan goods. Favorite set honors go to Stick Together, Rival Mob, Bane, Cold World (fuck, so god damn amazing) and Blacklisted. Blacklisted should have headlined, I feel they stole a lot of Terror’s thunder. Great set, but a super fucking hard act to follow. And no real Vogelisms. Instead of saying wacky stuff, he just said everything in iterations of 3: “get up, get up, get up” or “stage dive, stage dive, stage dive”… Shout outs to Ian Larrabee for some solid dives. Linkovich and Nate get high honors for their stage dives. No one tops those two.

As for pick ups, hell, I didn’t even grab that many tees (compared to 3 days at Sound And Fury…). I somehow missed the hoopla that surrounded the Rival Mob table, which was in the other building, and somehow, Cold World totally snuck by both Naidoo and I with their merch. The records I purchased? Well, I left those on some merch table or under a merch table or … no idea. Lost in time. But here’s what I ended up scooping. A couple of solid pick ups in here. Loving the puffy ink.

From Left to Right, Top To Bottom:

Bane TIH11 hood, limited to 6
Bane TIH11 tee, ltd
Bane TIH11 tee
Stick Together tee
Stick Together tee – great puffy ink
Triple B Records camo tee – crazy small
United Youth tee

Not pictured
Well Fed tee
Bane Calm Down and Ante Up tee

Plenty of people have already begun flipping their This Is Hardcore. Go check for yourself.

This Is Hardcore: Down To Nothing

By b. murphy | Published 08/14/2011

Down To Nothing is awesome. You know this. They are going to SMASH This Is Hardcore today. They clobbered Sound And Fury, murdered every single United Blood. It’s going to be a blood bath of mosh during This Is Hardcore. Just you wait.

Make sure to check out the other auctions from xdalegutsx. Save on shipping, you know?

This Is Hardcore: Reach The Sky

By b. murphy | Published 08/14/2011

Sunday of This Is Hardcore is a pretty big one. One of my favorite bands ever is playing, Reach The Sky. Seriously, love this band. I can recall some of those early shows and the energy was always over the top. Over the years the energy waxed and waned, but it’s always a blast seeing them. I’d suggest you make sure to watch them later today.

Grab these Victory Records era tees (sans Bulldog) from daysarelikeknives.

This Is Hardcore: Bitter End

By b. murphy | Published 08/13/2011

The This Is Hardcore Saturday lineup is dope. There is no doubt about it. Just one solid band after another. Like after The Rival Mob, Bitter End is playing. This band is always a good time. Some harder mosh, obviously than the Mob, but I feel like Philly will give them plenty of love today.

Grab this shirt from xcowabungax. I don’t know about you, but this shirt offers me everything I like on a shirt. Pocket print, solid fonts, live shot on the back (with an Eye For An Eye tshirt!) … Great shirt.
