WHAT … FEEDS … THE … FIRE!

b. murphy / 03/25/2010

Today is Jim C’s birthday. BEST WISHES to Jim C.

If you don’t Jim C, your missing out. You may currently know him from Soul Control. Over the years, there were a lot of other bands. Some I have forgotten, some Jim C would likely wish me to forget. But one of my faves was Rhode Island’s own What Feeds The Fire.

Before Soul Control and Verse, there was WFTF. Before Jim joined this band, I will admit, I was ignorant of them. I had never gone out of my way to see them. But Jim joined, and I began to pay attention.

What about this gig?

May 19 2002 @Met Cafe Providence RI: The Cro-Mags, Some Kind Of Hate, Suicide File, What Feeds The Fire

Fuck, you’re moshing. And I saw their last gig in 2003.

July 27, 2003 @The Palladium Worcester Mass: Team Neale show: Bane, Hatebreed, Barrit, Hope Con, Ringworm, What Feeds The Fire (last show), Most Precious Blood

It was definitely a high note to go out on. And if you don’t know, they had an intro style song with the lyrics, (duh) “What .. Feeds .. The .. Fire!” Kids would mosh hard, stage dive, pile on and get crazy. And then they would force the band to play the song again to continue the crazy.

Great times, great band, great dude. Happy Birthday, Jim.

Moving On

I back this design.

In fact, I back it big.

I think I have two short sleeves and one longsleeve. This one is a crewneck. If it was my size, it’d be mine.

Best part about these tees is that most of them are on American Apparel mark down tees. Not sure why I enjoy those AA tees so much, but I do.

Plus, the matching graffiti font on front and back is pretty chill. You know I love that pocket print.

I only saw DM a few times, but I enjoyed them those times.

What up, Ritter?

IRON CROSS!

b. murphy / 03/25/2010

Well, not the band.

But the actual object as depicted on various hardcore tees.

I think the Iron Cross gets a bad wrap as most people associate it with Hitler and Nazis. Not so, really. It’s much, much older than that. In fact, it’s Prussian in origin, not Germanic (if you want to get nit-picky). It was an award for outstanding bravery and valor. These are certainly traits worth having.

Hitler ruined a lot of crap, no doubt. But he certainly can’t ruin how awesome these bands are.

Fuck Nazis. Fuck Hitler. Fuck Racism. Fuck all that stupid shit.

Oh those scallywags

This shirt is a rip off of a rip off of a rip off. It’s almost a meta rip off design. Yeah, some next level, math nerd shit. We’ll have to get Klint to unravel the mechanics of it all.

This is another Mongoloids shirt, of course! They sold these at United Blood Fest 2008.

United Blood Fest 2010 is literally just around the corner. I hope you got your tickets already.

Do you see what they did with this shirt? They took a Bracewar tee and … Well, I’m sure you see it.

Those nogoodnicks.
