2008 wasn’t the best year for straight edge hardcore. A lot of popular bands suddenly became populated by edgebreakers: Verse, I Rise, … so many more. In the midst of all this edgebreaking, a few shining examples remained. And those shone through. One individual, someone who hasn’t been associated with a band since the mighty Crunch Time (of Lockin Out Records fame) stands out. Head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd. If I told you his name, you probably wouldn’t recognize it. Which is shame on you. This dude is through and through straight edge hardcore.
In fact, this young man is so dedicated to the core, that he blessed the world with his only son. Instead of a child, he put together an amazing tshirt. He then FREELY gave the shirt away at Edge Day 2008 in Haverhill MA to ANY person who was X’ed up. That’s right. I think he produced 4-6 dozen shirts and GAVE them away. He made ZERO dollars off the whole thing. Count yourself lucky if you received one from this fine fellow. Shame on this fellow for selling this tee. I suggest he give it away to a fine, young upstanding edgeman. It’d up your edge karma.
Classic looking tee. It looks vaguely similar to an “I <3 NY” shirt, but think how much cooler this one is. First off, it’s a tribute to Floorpunch. In fact, it’s all about loving Floorpunch. I once claimed you couldn’t be straight edge if you didn’t like Floorpunch. I stand by this statement. The back has a dope classic font. I’m a big fan.
