When Casali decides he likes a band, it means he REALLY likes a band. He then proceeds to back them hard and scoop up a lot of their merch. This tee from Sound And Fury Fest. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Casali doing some heavy pitting during their set. Dude can mosh**.
** I’ve known Casali for nearly 10+ years and have never once seen him mosh. True story. Continue reading
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.
The other day, I was chastised for not pointing out some terrible photo qualities. Today, I will make up for that. Thankfully, rulereporter64155 will help me redeem myself. Check this Rival Mob tee. At least, I think it’s a Rival Mob tee. That’s what the title says after all. The picture may not lead you to believe me. That’s fine, but that IS what the title says. The graphic is pretty intricate even for one color. But you’d never know that from the pic. Blurry, far off, poor balance. The only thing missing from this picture are hairy toes. In reality, the picture is a better shot of the quilt than than the tee.
Better plan? Hit up The Rival Mob merch table at Sound And Fury Fest and buy straight from the band. I’m predicting some ill SAF merch from this band. I’m picturing BIG LOC logos, maybe a crucified @GrillosPickles skin, lots of good ideas here. Looking forward to it.
As you all know, we’re really gearing up around here for the big fest later in July. Our bags are already packed (despite the gig being a month off). We don’t care. That’s how excited we are. So we want you all to sound off.
Leave a comment below telling us if you are going, if you have tickets already and what band you are most looking forward to see. This will enter you into TWO contests. Yes TWO contests. That’s how we do things around here. We’ll let this contest run until Tuesday June 29. But don’t sleep.
Our first contest has an immediate prize. How about a Free Spirit tshirt in XL?
If you aren’t an XL, I still have that bin of tees so don’t feel like you’ll be excluded. We really want to hear from everyone.
A second person will be entered into a contest that might really appeal to people who want to attend Sound And Fury Fest but have still not bought tickets yet. Hmmm, I wonder what that prize might be? But you are going to have to work a little for this one. In the coming week, expect some S&F specific trivia questions.
