Growing up in Maine (yeah, it always comes back to that), my music options seemed pretty narrow. This was pre-internet, and pre mailorder knowledge days. Honestly, in all my years, I’ve probably only mailordered 3 or 4 things. No joke. But back in the day, we had to get by on Thank You lists. That was my bread and butter.
I happened to come across Cause For Alarm one day while perusing my Old School To New School WarZone CD. I had never heard Cause For Alarm, but I could recall seeing the cover while flipping through CDs at Bull Moose. The next week, I picked it up. It was definitely well worth it. Great NYHC sound, lots of energy. I was feeling it all the way. Fast forward a few years, and I got the chance to see them in New Jersey. I can’t recall much about the set, but I remember it being quite enjoyable. At the time, seeing Bane and Ten Yard Fight overshadowed seeing CFA. Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention during their set.
As for this tee, I’d be super surprised if it did NOT have a doggie on the sleeve. This seems like perfect Victory Records merch. Note the pissy yellow grey tee too. Yay for the mid 90s. Great looks. Make sure to check out the other auctions from not2mesarahc. Dude doesn’t live too far from me. Wouldn’t be surprised if I knew the seller.
