You Better Stop And Think
I was lucky growing up in and around Boston. Granted, I officially grew up in Maine, but in hardcore terms, my growing up occurred in Worcester, MA. I spent some of the best years of my life rolling around Worcester, from age 18 to 23. This was a good time for Massachusetts hardcore. 1998 to [...]
I Pity Da Fool
It All Comes Down To This. Great album. This tee? A little goofy. Well, the front is chill. It’s the back that gets me. I can understand the concept. That’s pretty clear. Kamikaze pilot does what he’s got to do. Sure thing. Clear. But I don’t know about you, but homeboy has always looked like [...]
Bane – Fuck Yeah
Something about this shirt makes me cringe. I’m sure that was the intended affect. Guess what? It worked. Wearing a tshirt with a 3″x8″ “FUCK” is just not for me. In fact, back in 2003, I bet it was more appropriate to wear a tshirt featuring marionette sex than this tee. Lets take a minute [...]
Bane Crewnecks
It’s still Naidoo’s birthday, so I’m still posting Bane merch. Wish the young man a good one, please. As a guy with the “third best Bane merch collection,” he likely already has these. But who doesn’t love a crewneck? The first crewneck is actually the first crewneck Bane ever made. 10th anniversary gear. Love a [...]
Banana Yellow Hood
Bane dropped these hoods for their 10th anniversary gig. I’m pretty fond of it. You can’t really go wrong with a bright yellow Champion hood. The cupcake on the back shoulder is a nice touch too. Funny story. These hoods were printed up at the last minute (or so it seemed). They came out of [...]
Win / Win Situation
This seller has it all working for him. 1. He’s selling Lladro figurines. 2. He has negative feedback (claims “ebay sold one item to the two people via a BIN.” Okkkkkkkkk …..) 3. The pictures are excellent. 4. He’s selling a sparkly Bane shirt. Dalbec told me (or maybe it was Bedard) that people in [...]
Bane Triple B Tee
Bane released a crap ton of EPs this year. Two on most continents. Australia, Asia and South America went for CDs. But America and europe both got EPs. One of the labels to release an EP was Triple B Records. Sam’s a good dude, very responsible with pre-orders and packing items properly. Big fan of [...]
One King Down Bloodlust Revenge
Jaybil is always talking about shirts he would see at least once a show in CT. This is the Worcester version. You couldn’t walk three feet in the Espresso Bar without hitting one of these tees. It probably helps that Rob would later go on to sing for the Worcester band fortydaysrain. Worcester seemed to [...]
Quality Lockin Out Related Zines
Over the years, I’ve come to know a lot of cool people. I grew up through hardcore with a lot of them. First up is a zine from one of Merrimack Valleys finest, Joey C. Before Joey C fronted Righteous Jams or played in Stop And Think, he was just a kid who liked to [...]
Jazz June Boom The Motion
Three years ago, one month and one day, The Jazz June played a reunion show. It was strictly a benefit gig for their roadie Steve who was suffering from brain cancer. Lots of people showed up and donated. These shirts were made for that particular gig. 10 years ago TODAY exactly, The Jazz June played [...]
