Brian has been collecting shirts for 15 years (plus sneakers, vinyl, ... but mainly shirts). He started going to shows in the mid 90s and quickly got hooked on crucial gear. Blame it on Bane or In My Eyes. He's still in a debate with Dalbec on who has the better Bane collection. As far as blog content, you can expect to see lots of weirdo late 90s tees and lots of newer, more recent merch from Brian.

In My Eyes – Y2X Longsleeve

In My Eyes will always be a cornerstone of Boston Hardcore. Rank them up there with SSD & Slapshot. They did everything right. Short fast songs. Straight Edge through and through.

Confront – One Life Drug Free Tee

Cleveland Straight Edge. 1994. It’s pretty shocking how well maintained this 15 year old shirt is. One Life, Drug Free. Good motto.

WTF? “Original” Side By Side Tee

According to the seller, this is an “original” Side By Side tee. If he means, “originally printed by Lost And Found Records” then he would be correct. Judging from this seller’s other auctions, I would guess the seller isn’t as steeped in hardcore tshirtology as the staff of TeeTillDeath.com. Of course, we don’t expect all […]
