My last post of 2007 is the inevitable “Best Of” list. These are things that I praise the good lord for bestowing upon us in 2007. Thanks to all of you that read this shit, and keep an eye out for some changes in 2008.
In no particular order:
- Rise and Fall Clawing 7″ & live [...]
Deathwish has some limited Shipwreck shirts and a hoodie available in the estore. I believe these are from their record release show and tour.
Order Shipwreck t-shirts @ Deathwish >
Why? Because 1) Pulling Teeth are one of the best bands in hardcore right now, and 2) They crank out shirts like a motherfucker. I believe these are left-overs from their recent US tour with Frightener. There is a short sleeve and long sleeve shirt featuring art from Jeff Beckman, and a pullover hoodie with [...]
The hits keep coming from Shirts & Destroy. First up is a shirt from the now defunct Bars which featured members of The Hope Conspiracy and Give Up The Ghost.

Just visit their myspace and check out the title track off the upcoming album Board [...]
More Florian Bertmer sweetness at Shirts & Destroy. This time it’s a shirt for grind freaks Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and it features a well endowed , skull faced succubus. If that turns your crank you can grab it here.
Toronto’s Millenial Reign, featuring Damian from Fucked Up and ex-No Warning members Jordan and Jesse, have joined 1917 Records. They are currently finishing up their debut ep Bones, Dust, Nothing but you can visit their MySpace to hear some tracks.

In anticipation of something new from OMG, even though it might be too much to hope for, I’ve posted some shirts and a hoodie available from HydaHead. [...]
