Fat Heads Need Not Investigate

By b. murphy | Published 10/26/2011

American Nightmare was quite possibly the biggest hardcore band in the 2000s. They were huge. Toured everywhere. Big venues, lots of kids. Tons of fans, merch was skyrocketing. Through all of that, the dudes in the band maintained smallish egos. None of them got fat heads. If they owned this sweatshirt from xdontbreaktheoathx, they’d be in luck. You see, the first printing of these hoods were on the weakest hoods. The bodies were great, but the hoods were TINY. Like pinheads only. It was a bit of a bummer. The second printing was MUCH better. I’m sure the Shop Shogun printing is even better.

ps. You know Chauncey agrees with me.

Blood For Blood and High Tea

By b. murphy | Published 10/25/2011

I’ve been watching the Blood For Blood video from the Glasshouse. October 22, 2011. Have a peep (shot by our friend Tru, by the way).

I’m fairly certain this crowd is full of well mannered young adults, biscotti and tea sippers. Seriously. Where’s the mayhem? Where’s the carnage? Where’s a SINGLE FUCKING STAGE DIVE? Granted, it’s also missing a lot of witty banter from White Trash Rob. Some of the songs are sloppy, but I found myself doing lots of seat-moshing while watching this video. If you are a seat mosher, you may want to pick up this polo shirt from badinplaid1223 too. Looks solid while doing your taxes or reading the WSJ.

Stop And Bootleg?

By b. murphy | Published 10/22/2011

I’m not going to say definitively that this Stop And Think shirt is a bootleg, but I’m leaning in that direction. A few things just feel funky about it. First, the blue color is real dark. I can chalk that up to the lighting, I suppose. Normally, the slate color is very pale. This almost looks navy. Second, the spacing between the letters seems off. Comparing it to my tshirt, all the letters look super cramped. I’ll give points for this message in the description, “I just wanna say, non-serious bidders Get Lost because Some Die For This.” +1. But before bidding, I’d ask fightthestruggle a few questions. Definitely find out what brand of tshirt this was printed on. Good luck. If you get more info, let us know.

Won’t Take No More – 2011

By b. murphy | Published 09/22/2011

WTF? How did this shirt drop without me seeing it? I see aljor picked it up in August so maybe it was just released at a gig I didn’t attend. Which sucks. Missing Free Spirit is not a habit I want to create. Poor trend. Solid tiger though. Intense. Plus, the shirt has everything I can appreciate. Solid graphic, simple font, a date, a location, … I’m even a fan of the grey. Into it.

One Of A Kind Mental Tee

By b. murphy | Published 09/21/2011

Back when Lockin Out HQ was at 21 Mt Vernon, there was a bin next to the door full of tshirts. Mostly RJ and Mental tees. Lots of newer designs or RJ euro tour tees. I always assumed they were leftovers from various tours and just never got sold. What I do recall is that there were a bunch of the two sided version of this shirt in that box. This one and the MENTAL upright outline design. Plus, a shit ton of size small Righteous Jams tees. Looking back, that box is an ebay gold mine. I hope Greg still has it.

I wish mikeylizard explained where he got this tshirt. I suspect he knows someone from NJ, but I can’t be positive. I don’t think this shirt EVER came on this color. I recall white and grey. Never royal blue. Pretty cool.

IME est 1997

By jbil | Published 09/19/2011

Mctwist5 is selling a nice simple clean looking IME tee. This is the kind of shirt that is going to go for super cheap now a days but in like 10 years dudes are going to be fiending after it. Even if it doesnt rise in value this is the kind of graphic that will still look classic in 10-15 years. IME did a great job with this one!

Jagz Boston

By Lynn | Published 09/17/2011

I feel like every time I went to a show Jaguarz was supposed to play they never actually played, but merch was being sold. Not that I was really upset or anything about that, it’s just something that always stood out in my mind when I think of them. Seller xyouthoftodayx is selling a worn shirt of theirs, but their shirts always seem to be popular so I’m sure whoever wins this one won’t mind letting it take an Oxyclean bath.

Suicide File first shirt

By jbil | Published 09/05/2011

I bought this shirt at the same gig as prestoneleven. “I can still remember the Boston show where I picked this shirt up in 2001. Bane, Stop & Think, The Dedication, Invasion, Panic, and a little known band at the time called The Suicide File.” Yes it was quite the show. That was also Invasions first show if im not mistaken either where my horrible first shirt I ever made was released. Another gig that was a whirlwind of picking up shirts before the gig, seeing friends, diving, eating,etc… I love that the Invasion demos came mostly taped over other things and had the lyrics rubber banded around them.

Planet Mental BIN

By jbil | Published 09/05/2011

robotichamburger has a nince cheap BIN for a classic Planet Mental shirt. I dont really have any Planet Mental shirts besides the ones I made(tupac/biggie and Scace Cadet) and Im kinda bummed on it. The Planet Mental tours were a merch juggernaut. I really have no idea why I didnt pick any up at the Planet Mental release gig. That was my last US show I have been to and its all a blur of hanging with friends, seeing bands, saying good byes. I really need to step up my game and fix that PMental shirt situation of mine. Bummed I missed the Mental reunion this past weekend but the pic was incredible! HUGE shootout to Dookie! Doing big things
