Need 40 Internal Affairs Tshirts?

By b. murphy | Published 07/06/2011

I don’t recall who lodc619 is, but holy shit, dude has a lot of shirts up right now. Lots of items from the last 6-7 years. And to top it off, the dude is selling OVER 40 different Internal Affairs designs. Crewnecks, tshirts, shorts, … You name it. I won’t post all 40. Don’t worry. Here’s a few choice items.

Minority Unit – I Blew It

By b. murphy | Published 04/25/2011

I blew it. Or maybe, someone else blew it. Obviously bands should cater to my taste, right?** At United Blood, one of the hottest pieces of merch was the Minority Unit pocket print tee. It was amazing. Great POCKET print, stellar back print. Oh, and did I mention it was ACTUALLY a pocket print? That’s right, the tshirts had a breast pocket. Bah, I blew it. You know why? It was NAVY. Fucking navy tees. Death of my closet. I haven’t seen one pop back up on Ebay, but I may break my own rules to get one. They also had excellent hooded sweatshirts. soulvice88 is selling one. Get into it.

Check out this Pomona video. Looks like a crucial show. Also on the bill, Free Spirit and Disengage. Hot.

I can’t find any merch online, so I’m double kicking myself. Keep up with them on minorityunit.tumblr.com. Maybe they’ll post up some new merch soon.

** I kid, I kid.

Update: Just noticed what is likely a fake bidder. Sigh. Fucking fake bidders.

Truth Crew BIN

By b. murphy | Published 12/19/2010

copiousamounts drops another BIN gem. Strife’s Truth Crew tshirt. Granted, it’s not as awesome as the Smorgasbord style tee, but it’s still damn dope. I’m not sure who made up the Truth Crew. But I can imagine it could have been a crew of one … ** I also assume the small picture is a pocket print, and the large picture is a big back print. No idea though, I can’t verify that. Pretty decent BIN price. Of course, if you want all the latest and greatest Strife merch, go hit up All In Merch.

** I’m hoping that was as punny as anything Morgado has dropped lately. Let me know if it hit the mark or fell flat.

Strife – Southern California Straight Edge

By b. murphy | Published 11/06/2010

Ok, what’s the deal with this Strife tshirt? littleseahuman says it is “original” “from back in the day,” but I cannot recall ever seeing this shirt before. And it’s more than likely not a recent reprint (especially with all those Xs on it). What’s up with “Southern California?” I thought Strife always repped LA. The color is awesome. I love a grey tee with green ink, very sharp look. Not old school classic scheme, but also definitely not a weirdo 90s variety. I can dig it. I just don’t know anything about it. Anyone got some details? Drew?

10.10.10

By b. murphy | Published 10/10/2010

Some people have taken this 10.10.10 thing a little too far. Take this tshirt from seitansmilitia for example. We all know that “X” is the Roman numeral for 10. This guy appears to have made tshirts that commemorate the day. What a weirdo! Some people are getting married, others are jumping out of plans or bungee jumping. This guy made a tshirt. Then he has the audacity to say “own this piece of LA Hardcore History,” as if he knew tomorrow would be huge for LA Hardcore. Is Strife playing a gig that day? That’d be cool.

You’re Dead

By b. murphy | Published 09/19/2010

When it comes to stomach rockers, “You’re Dead” would not be my first choice. Neither would “Reason Enough.” “Morgado” would probably be my first choice. But since someone already took that one, I’ll have to keep looking. If it wasn’t for the rocker, I’d probably be all over this crewneck. Straight Edge on the back. Very hot. The back print bears a strong resemblance to a certain Naysayer tee. I’m sure Naysayer must have been inspired by it. Make sure to check out madballmarshall’s other auctions for more gems. Some great stuff from this guy.

Inside Out And Revelation Records

By b. murphy | Published 08/01/2010

Some people prefer the NYC band, but for me, it’s always been the LA crew. Zach and boys brought it. And when you add that revelation records sleeve print, you know I’m sold. Thanks to loop88 for bringing it. Dumb if you don’t jump all over this one. Seriously, dumb if you don’t.

There Is Only One Truth

By b. murphy | Published 06/24/2010

After my last boffo on the Sound And Fury 2010 band mention, I’ve double and tripled checked this one. Strife IS definitely playing. So what we have here are TWO truths. Truth #1. Strife is playing. We have that covered. Truth #2. I bet the guys in Strife don’t look like this anymore.

Just kidding. Minus a mustache on Rick, of course. Also, if you haven’t checked out Drew Strife’s shop, Tradition, you better go ahead and go on over there now.

ps. Does anyone know who driada_ifni is? There is a consistent amount of gems coming from this seller. Continue reading »

Happy Hour, but Not That Happy Hour

By b. murphy | Published 06/04/2010

Youth Brigade, but not that Youth Brigade …

I listened to Youth Brigade’s Happy Hour A LOT as a youth. For obvious reasons. Great album. It was definitely one of those cds I picked up at Bull Moose because it was on BYO Records. That’s all I knew about it. If Kev Seconds approved, who was I to argue? Better Youth Organization? Hell yes. I could see Ange Bishop sporting this shirt … ;)

Alpha And Omega

By b. murphy | Published 04/30/2010

What we are looking at here is the newest release from the street wear label Crooks And Castles.

A small brand that started in 2002 and has now grown incredibly. You’ll see their merch in lots of high end skate shops and fashion boutiques globally. You can even snag their gear on karmaloop.

With a quiet refined taste …

Oh wait.

This is an Alpha And Omega tee that just REALLY looks like a Crooks and Castles Tee. Whoops.

Please compare.

You see what I’m saying here?

Regardless, I really enjoyed Alpha And Omega when I saw them play Allston last August. Great gig, great band. And not a bad tee either. Don’t get it twisted, I like this tee. Quality look. Continue reading »
