Integrity Systems Overloaded

By jbil | Published 02/15/2010

Wow a victory tee without 1 million logos! Systems Overload is arguably the best Integrity record. I know you might not agree but its pretty fucking good. It actually depends on the day for me. Sometimes its fear tomorrow, sometimes humanity, sometimes this. You really can choose wrong. This was possibly the best tour though! Im sure you can ask anyone who saw the 1995 tour for this record that it was one of the best shows they ever went to. The Tune Inn in CT looked like a riot scene when the opening note it. Cant really tell if this shirt is white or that shitty ash grey I hate.
In case you need to brush up Dwid has made a bunch of the catalog available for DL —->Integ Discog

One Life Crew gear

By jbil | Published 12/15/2009

A lot of people like to hate on this band. Sure they turned into a self made joke but there is no doubt that the demo and first LP are amazing. Fucking Murdario Stomp! Are you kidding me?!? One of the best intros of the 90s. If you dont like “Crime Ridden Society” I will guess you probably dont like cool things like Breakdown, Warzone, Rap, Madball, pizza, the straight edge, mexican food, moshing, etc…. You probably do like the internet, hippies, Zima, “mad about you”, carob, Harvest shirts. And maybe this isnt the site for you?
As great as those first 2 OLC releases are this band never once had a good looking shirt. Never. Not once.

shitty windbreaker

Integrity Tour 95 Tour

By b. murphy | Published 11/28/2009

This could be the coolest Integrity shirt that has graced TTD so far.

It has a great worn in look. Good use of ink colors. And that heinous record label mention is almost worn off. Great look!

Systems Overload Tour 95, where were you?

One Life Crew – American Justice Hood

By b. murphy | Published 11/20/2009

I’ve never seen this hood before in my life.

Now, I’m not saying I’m the biggest OLC fan, in fact, I’m not even a fan. That Victory Records EP was ok, but the bullshit surrounding it was WAY too much for me.

Sponsored by a cigar company? WTF? Was that some weirdo inside joke or what?

As for this hood, dunno. Could be a boot. I honestly can’t recall ever seeing this gear. Maybe it was a local limited run by Too Damn Hype records, I just don’t know.

Integrity Henry Lee Lucas Crewneck

By b. murphy | Published 11/18/2009

Apparently, Integrity day continues. You can’t fuck with that.

You know I love crewnecks. However, I can’t support this one. Henry Lee Lucas was a serial killer, and his face splattered huge on this one just looks goofy.

I’d rather have a giant picture of James Garvey on my Integrity Crewneck, thank you.

My victims newer knew what was gonna happen next
I’ve had shootings, knifings, beatings and actual crucifixions of humans
All across the country there’s people like me, who set out to destroy human life

Uh, ok, Mr Wacko.

Integrity champion brand shirt

By jbil | Published 11/18/2009

This Integrity shirt rules because it is printed on a Champion brand shirt. It also has a pretty cool pic of a Melnick on the back! I used to have this shirt. Infact it was the first Integrity shirt I ever owned. I ended up trading it to a fried for another shirt that used to be mine that I wanted back. My shirt used to have an embroidered Champion “C” logo ont he sleeve but it fell off. This auction doesnt mention one on the sleeve. I wonder if this one used to be mine?!?

Integrity shirt

By jbil | Published 11/18/2009

Now we are talking. Not sure if this is an old or new shirt but its def a nod back to classic integrity merch. Definitly wearable since it doesnt not have a huge all over print or that shitty “church of the Holy Terror” logo that looks a little too close for to a swazi for my liking. Saw Integ last week with a scab line up but it overall they were pretty good. The scab members had some corny and cringe worthy stage banter but they played almost only old songs. All the hits were played. Great set overall. JP crowd was weak though. real weak

Integrity – Humanity Is The Devil Hood

By b. murphy | Published 10/22/2009

Back in college, I had a radio program with xmikex and kated. Mike and I would lug a heavy ass box of CDs to the studio, plus a few EPs. Kate would hang. We tried to start EVERY radio program with Vocal Test. We figured, we only wanted hardcore heads listening to the radio broadcast. By playing Vocal Test immediately, we could instantly separate the wheat from the chaff. I think it worked.

Of course, the radio station only broadcast over the local campus cable system. That’s right. There was no antenna broadcasting it to the neighborhood. Not even close. It was only available on the closed circuit television channel. A few years later, my old roommate would set up a streaming radio for the school. That worked pretty well. In fact, he made it possible for kids all over the world to hear Stop And Think live in studio. Plus The A-Team (and likely a ton others that are not coming to mind). Oddly, I walked right by the radio station the night Stop And Think played, but no one had alerted me they were in town so I didn’t stop by. Weak.

Humanity Is the Devil is one of the LAST Integrity albums that I really got into. Once Integrity 2000 hit the scene, I peaced out. But they were still quite enjoyable live. That was never a let down. Maybe The Blackest Curse will change my opinion. Deathwish Inc, represent!

Questionable Integrity Merch

By b. murphy | Published 10/13/2009

I like Integrity. I’ve moshed and stage dived for Integrity. One time Chubby Fresh told me my joke rainbow colored Astros fitted “looked cool.” Then he spit on my feet. Not one after another, mind you.

The old merch? So good. Quality, straight edge looking gear. Usually more than 2 sided, simple colored shirts (white or black) and just one or two ink colors. All around, great looking tees.

But there is some stuff I just can’t hang with. Take this Deathwish Inc shirt (sorry Tre). Manson? Seriously? Do I need a tshirt with that dudes GIANT head on it? Unlikely.
