First up from xjokexohiox is an Integrity/Creepout Japan tour longsleeve. I went to the last gig on tis tour and it was underwhelming. I was a little bummed. Dont get me wrong, Integrity sounded great! They played for like an hour and twenty minutes and almost exclusively old songs. Obv they opened with Micha and it ruled. It was the crowd that was the problem. There was maybe 50 people there and mostly just stood there staring but not in a “staring in awe” kind of way but more of a “staring out of boredom” kind of way. Which was a shame cause it could have been really great. The HC trend has been over in JP for a while. Good looking shirt though
Second up is a longsleeve from Creepout. They are like a JP Integrity sounding band. Great dudes. Kunihide the vocalist is one of the nicest dudes you wil ever meet. Loves the core.

A Vintage Bootleg?
Is it me, or are the Circle Jerks one of the best bands with the worst shirts? I’ve seen one or two good ones courtesy of the vintage sellers who think someone wants to pay $300 for a shirt right off the bat, but for the most part what I find makes it seems like all they ever did was slap the cover of their latest album on a shirt or use a (usually bland) variation of the skanking guy. And of course when you add in cheap looking bootlegs the number of bland skanking guy shirts skyrockets into the hundreds. It’s only on the rarest of occasions that I find one that I would want, let alone a bootleg. But thanks to sid-vintage, I now have found both.
The description says it’s a 90s boot of an 80s shirt, but there are several other sellers with current boots of this, all for the husky gentlemen, so I’m taking that with a grain of salt. Still, it’s a good looking boot of an actual good Circle Jerks design. That’s a winner in my book.
Spreading The Officially Licensed Reality.
There are always a ton of crappy looking Sick Of It All “officially licensed” shirts on eBay. They’re usually terrible. But this… try as I might, I can’t hate on this.
I’m very curious how the actual shirt looks, as the Spreadin’ The Hardcore Reality longsleeve has always been one of my favorite SOIA shirts AND favorite longsleeves, plus I’ve never been averse to wearing a well made boot, officially licensed or not. The only downside would be seller musicshirt‘s complete lack of feedback. $13.99 plus shipping and handling isn’t bad at all though. Your other option is $21.95 plus s/h (and 8.375% sales tax if you’re in NY,which I am) for one that doesn’t show or mention the back print anywhere in the auction…
That’s pretty clearly the same stock photo of the front, so I’m gonna give the benefit of the doubt and assume illrockshirt just didn’t picture it. I hope.
(For the record as of the writing, the sold score is illrockshirt 6, musicshirt 0.)
Righteous Jams in your face
There was a time a couple short years ago when RJs was the shit. Actually the first recor stil rules but it seems like kids now can only like 1 band at a time. This shirt used to gofor big bucks now you can scoop it for less than 10. I suggest you do because one day kids are gonna realize that the 1st 12″ still does rule and they will scramble to get back all the shirs they flipped for money. Or a new generation of kids will be all over it. Ive actually got my eye on a few things from xjokexohiox
