This Strife shirt for sale by xdanex is a love/hate kind thing for me. I love that back shot, and the fact that this is a band made shirt. What that means dear readers is NO BULLDOGS! What I hate about it is the front logo. Always have, always will. The last time I posted a shirt like this, you guy ate it up. Shows you what I know. SO in closing, No Bulldogs and a great back photo edges out the poor front logo. Bonus points for wearing this with JNCOS.
The seller was trying to track down more info about it. How many pressed, what era, … Anyone know? Paging Drew Kline …
I was not sure if I should post this on SkateNoize, but I figured it was a core related item so maybe it belongs here. Back in the late 90′s after Strife’s second album In this Defiance dropped on Victory Records Zorlac Skateboards released a Strife deck and this hoodie. I’m not a big fan of this Hoodie I don’t particularly care for the birds flying around a live a shot of Rick. It looks like the birds are smoking cigarettes. Zorlac has been known for its core related merch and skateboards. I noticed that they reissued a few decks I wonder if they will reissue the Strife and H20 deck. bettysstealsndeals is selling this and many other great hoodies.
In the early 90s, there was a great throw together band called Prohibition. Sweet Pete (Prohibition) sang, Ed McKirdy (Hands Tied, Skull Crusher) played bass, Drew Kline (Strife YO!) played guitar, Sid Strife on drums. There was also a cast of rotating members (hell, every member could probably be considered in this rotation) Mike Hartsfield, Justin Moulder (Suburban Fanzine), Brian Maryansky, Chris Daily, … I’m sure there were plenty more**. They played gigs when each dude was in the same room. So maybe 3 gigs total. It’s hard when dudes live in California, Boston and Jersey/NYC/wherever Ed was living at the point (could have been Boston, but he’s a hermit). How many times were Strife, Undertow, Hands Tied and Sweet Pete all in the same room?
Regardless, I think they last time they played was 95. Could have been 93 even. But I guess I’m wrong, and this shirt from zombieritual83 proves it. Who knew they played again around 2000? I did not, but I’m sorry to have missed it. I knew they were all straight edge, and definitely did plenty of straight edge covers. I did not realize they were so militant. It’s weird, Pete’s a pretty laid back dude. I know he rolls with some dudes who are not straight edge. Same with Andrew and his hip hop crew. Those dudes — not straight edge. Same goes for Ed. I mean, seriously, Ed hangs out with Tim McMahon… But this shirt is proof. Hardline. I’ll probably be bidding big on this one since it is an unknown artifact to me. So please, keep back.
Straight Edge Revenge!
** thanks to Pete and Andrew for filling in the names I had forgotten. Much appreciate. Continue reading »
Seller 145bpm has like a page and a half of posters alone in his current auctions. The vast majority are Victory related, so I just picked the three I liked the best. Sadly the Strife one is marred with a rather large bulldog…
I have my own Melissa. If she pulled this many Victory Records tees out of the “deep recesses” of my closet, I’d be worried. But that’s 23percent’s story. He proudly bought all of these from Victory Records. Straight from the label, he says. That’s cool. When you live in Nebraska in the early 90s, I think it’s perfectly acceptable. If you had a similar upbringing, I suggest snagging these. Free shipping, could make a pretty cheap lot in the end. Could very well be worth your time (plus, the Strife tee and Snapcase hood are dope. The other designs are legit, but pretty standard ones).
One more from trusted seller michielwalrave. Its pretty rare to see a strife longsleeve with no bulldogs on it! And its even rarer to see a Lost and Found made shirt that doesnt look like a complete butthole. The one thing is that this is from europe and does have wizard sleeves but if that is your shit then have at it
More 90s goodness from 570jeep4x4. This Strife actually doesnt look half bad. 4-sided is always a plus. I’ll take a rectangle Victory logo over a bulldog anyday. For a mid 90s long sleeve Id give this shirt an A+ grade. Although the over use of ovals and circle logos in the 90s always makes me giggle a bit now. Id expect this shirt to command a respectable price. Have at it.
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. Continue reading »
In the grand scheme of it, the 90s gave us plenty of cool things. The internet, Snapcase, … plenty of cool shit. Then again, it also gave us the piss grey tshirt. Yeeks. It seems that every band had a piss grey tee back in the 90s. No idea why. And thankfully, it only lasted a short period. Dudes must have realized that after a few wears, it was all down hill. It’s a shame too because this Strife tshirt is one of my faves. Love that round One Truth logo on the back. I can even live with the one color bulldog. Hit up heroes-and-conspiracies for more cool hardcore merch. And for new Strife merch, check out All In Merch, which promises to be piss free.
