I seem to recall a few years back that every band was producing a black/blue windbreaker with some sort of weird felt lining. It was the thing to do. I had a few, and wore them proudly.
What we have here is a pristine Cro-Mags version of this mid 90’s hardcore staple. It appears that this thing was never worn, and looks to be in perfect condition. Pull on your JNCOS and show some support for the MAGS.
What can I say about Cold World? Kings of merch a little bit ago. You used to be able to finance a small house off selling CW merch. I never got Cold World but I know they are certified good dudes and they have made a ton of cool shirts. I have always loved this shirt. So good. Who wouldnt want to wear a shirt with a Burn tape on it?!?
I’m a beb. I first started going to shows in the mid 90s. I never went to the Anthrax. I never went to The Channel (or even The Rat). I never went to The Ritz, the Rock Hotel, A-7, Lismar Lounge, … And I definitely never went to L’Amour.
But judging from all the flyers I’ve seen over the years, I sure wish I had.
L’Amour Rocks!

I bet Weinblad has one of these buried in a crate somewhere.
You are probably saying to yourself, “huh, wtf is loveseat?” Actually, knowing the audience of this blog, you are saying, “holy fuck, loveseat.”
For those of you in the first camp, Loveseat Fanzine was the zine Alex Brown wrote back when he lived in Des Moines, Iowa. If you don’t know who Alex Brown is, may god have mercy on your soul. Just in case, he was Schism Fanzine, the bassist for many a youth crew hardcore band (Gorilla Biscuits, Side By Side, Project X …) aka The Big Time.
He cranked out this little zine before moving to Brooklyn where upon he changed the name to Schism. Probably because it sounded more hardcore. Just imagine if the Judge EP was released on Loveseat Records … wild.
The seller does a GREAT job of listing the details on this zine. Go check out that description and BID HARD.
