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.

By b. murphy | Published 12/04/2010

Our boy Owen’s bday wasn’t that long ago. But due to a lack of relevant tees, we had to hold off wishing him a happy bday. BUT NOW, we’re in the clear. Thanks to viciousskin, we now have reason to mention Owen. Dude is strictly chill. And if you aren’t reading Trumbull, you are doing […]

We’ve been known to wax poetically over varsity jackets. They were the quintessential merch for the youth crew. Well, varsity jackets and the 1987 x-rated swatch. That goes without saying. But when have you ever seen us go on and on about hip hop gear of the same era? Probably never. It’s a shame, because […]

He forgot to mention the construction worker / handy man/ member of Trapped Under Ice look. You know, the guy who wears timbs and cargo shorts to the gym. Fear not, […]

Some Dudes Love … Pink

By b. murphy | Published 12/03/2010

The age of popped collars is (thankfully) passed, but that doesn’t mean pink isn’t a favorite color anymore. You can still find shirts form all your favorite bands in the brightest color. Granted, you wouldn’t catch me wearing a pink Project X tee, but I think I could hang with the Mongos one if it […]

Summer Tour 1998

By b. murphy | Published 12/02/2010

1998 was a great year for hardcore. Seriously. It was a great year personally for me, no doubt, but 98 was beyond compare for the core. I know it sounds ridiculous when you compare it to 86 or 88, but roll with me on this one. The Youth Crew Revival was in it’s up swing. […]

Some Dudes Love Purple II

By b. murphy | Published 12/01/2010

Morgado posted up Some Dudes Love Purple Part I yesterday. Here I present to you, Part II, courtesy of xbohnx. Lets just say, in a purple war, Judge would always win. In fact, I’m not sure what purple shirt this hood would defeat. Granted, I’m a Set Your Goals fan, but … wow … what […]
