I think time has got the better of erikaratekid’s memory. She states that this tshirt is from “around 96,” but she is off by a year or two. Check her timeline, “The back story on this Bane shirt… my memory recalls that I was at a show at St. John’s Gym and Pete gave this shirt to me as a thank you for giving the band a bunch of photos I had taken so they could use them for the Holding This Moment 7″. I believe this is the first Bane shirt that I owned.” Thing is, the Holding This Moment EP didn’t come out until fall of 98. I know back then bands took a little longer pulling together albums, but certainly this album didn’t take two years. Likely, this shirt is from 97 or 98. And I suspect Erika actually owned a Bane SPAM shirt before she owned this one. Either way, this shirt is nearly 15 years old. I love that it’s size GIANT too. Remember when EVERYONE, even GIRLS wore size GIANT? Tre would probably have tucked this shirt in.
