One last one for the week from modbasher187, and as an OG Mental Crew member, it brings back a lot of fond memories.
Ahhh the Mental Crew “Get Down” longsleeve. Def wore mine while actually getting down to Mental many a time in the early days, including 1-25-03, where I was also sporting workboots, a bandanna, and a chain. Ah, the follies of youth (I was 24).
Oh oldtymehardcore, your description got a chuckle out of me. Thanks.
the WRONG SIDE of the bed, that’s what I woke up on today. Then I got on TTD, and I was suddenly feelin’ pretty good. Thanks for the posting tips, sir.
LOL
Ps. 10 hours to go, no bids — dumb if you don’t.
I’m enjoying modbasher187‘s spree of early-mid 00’s Boston Hardcore shirts, but I have a bit of an issue here…
Go check out that description. I know he’s going for descriptive minimalism, and I know the bands shared members, but that’s a Think I Care quote my friend. Appropriate, maybe, but accurate, no.
I actually can’t remember who used the curb jaw imagery for SBI first; me in this design or Rocket Punch Records for the 7 inch. It doesn’t really matter, we were both stealing from the old stories about kids getting curb stomped for not being Straight Edge in the late 90s anyways…
Fired Up never got their due. This is true. Somehow, in the recent annals of Hardcore History, they have been grossly overlooked. Not sure how. I always enjoyed their gigs and the signing to Youngblood Records seemed promising. And the addition of Steb was huge. But things petered out. Dudes moved away, got into other bands. It just stopped happening. Which is unfortunate but perhaps timely. Like Picasso, they can now be more fully appreciated .. Or something like that. Regardless, this longsleeve from xstefahnx is great. Bonus points for the yellow and royal (not navy, eff navy) combo. Trivia: Who did the logo? I’ve always dug their logo.
