I just can not stop myself from posting a good jersey. This Madball gem has bottom back butt print! Dudes LOVE this design as evidenced by the price, so I figured some of you here might be into it.
Go on big boy, Demonstrate Your Style!
ps. Maybe I’m just excited because it has sleeve print/patch?
This is the same design as the first TYF demo shirt. The original shirt was white with navy ink. Very crucial. I have one but it is a mid-90s XL. HUUUUUUGE. I remember the first time I heard the TYF demo. It was on the way to a show at “the garage” in New Haven, CT. I think it was a Hatebreed show. Regardless I remember being so stoked on the demo in the car on the way to the show. The demo was probably better than the show as it was decemeber and like -10 degrees out and the show being in an actual garage was also freezing.
9 years ago (and a day), I attended the final In My Eyes show in Andover, MA. This show was obviously labeled Edge Day (Observed). For many, many obvious reasons. I remember rolling up on the gig anticipating a great day, just endless fun, a million bands and a million friends. Here was the lineup:
Shark Attack (two songs), Killing Flame, Mouthpiece, Bane, In My Eyes (last show), Ten Yard Fight (a few songs)
Seriously, mind blowing. As we rolled up to the gig, the whole crowd was sitting on the floor watching some movie. We had no idea what was going on. It felt like some weird anti moshing mid 90s gig. But then we realized everyone was watching the Ten Yard Fight discography. It gave me chills, in a good way.
And then, some unknown band kicked off the gig with 2 songs. Some band I had never heard of and didn’t realize were actually on the bill. Who were these dudes? Who was this Philly crew? When they kicked in, Philly came out in force and moshed like crazy nutters. It was literally insane. That was my introduction to Shark Attack.
I wouldn’t see Shark Attack again for many months, but the next go around was EVEN bigger for them.
June 2001 @ Mass Art Boston Mass: Stop And Think (first show), American Nightmare, Shark Attack, Panic
This show literally blew the doors off of Mass Art. I can’t recall if they ever did another show in that smaller room again. It was literally crazy from start to finish. Great mosh.
This is the first tee they produced and according to the seller, is likely the very first one ever screened as it has a few “untaped off red dots.” One of a kind Shark Attack merch. Awesome.
Ashes longsleeve from 95. This band is not my cup of tea but I remember there being a bit of hoopla surrounding this band cause they had a girl on vox. Ive def been at shows where theyve played but I couldnt tell you what they sound like. Maybe Im missing out? you tell me. This band does feature a young Brian McTernan of Battery/Salad Days studio fame on guitar.
