BRIDGE 9 POISONFREE - Misfits Ripoff


















BRIDGE 9 POISONFREE - Misfits Ripoff

So yeah, I bought this one off of ebay cus I really liked the idea of the X-ed hands of that Misfits guy. Well it's in size small unfortunately so it wont fit me....oh well, guess I wouldn't wanna wear it anyway,I broke my edge many moons ago and I don't want the sXe police to go berzerk on me you know or put my name on crazy edgebreaker list on some weird ass messageboards...

SPLIT LIP - Fate's got a driver LS


























SPLIT LIP - Fate's got a driver LS

When I first heard "For the love..." I was instanly hooked and constantly searching for every piece of LIP merch and interviews in zines i could find. This is one of the gems I bought back then and I am happy I did so, altho the LS is Xl and way to big for me...But who cares if it says "Fate's got a driver" on it.

QUICKSAND - Manic Compression Era







































QUICKSAND - Manic Compression Era

Seriously this QUICKSAND shirt with the "Manic compression" Art is so old I can't even remember where I bought it. Online at some mailorder or at some weird american shopping mall during my holidays?? I simply don't know! Fact is, I haven't seen this design anywhere else. Plus I love QUICKSAND and I love Melinda Becks Artwork. So this is definitely a winner in my collection. The Print is a little cracked, but well that adds to the nostalgia I guess...

SPLIT LIP | CHAMBERLAIN Reunion Tee














SPLIT LIP | CHAMBERLAIN Reunion Tee

When I heard that the LIP is doing a Reunion show I was going apeshit! I only saw them live once in 96 at the Geschwister-Scholl-Haus in Neuss but that was enough to keep me hooked for years and years to come. I remember buying a green euro tour sweater there which I will def post later on. So if this is along MINERAL, TITR and FALLING FORWARD my fave band how could I resist buying every piece of reunion merch. I couldn't.

I know that everything after their infamous Doghouse Rec country record "The moon my saddle" pretty much sucked, but still. I love them and always will. Remember that SIMBA zine issue where Vique puts The LIP as one of her first bands ever to be on the cover of SIMBA. SPLIT LIP stole my heart and still do. You're right Vique.

UNBROKEN - is dead/MOZ (Burning fight show)


















UNBROKEN - is dead/MOZ (Burning fight show)

Holy crap, there has been some crazy buzz about this final UNBROKEN Shirt which has officially been sold at their final(?)/reunion show at Burning fight. People paid crazy prices for the official ones and *BAM* some clever online business man reprinted tons of the original designs and sold them on his corporate website. And yes I bought the shirt off of that website in different sizes so i can even wear it when I am bold and fat. Lucky me also bought an original Burning fight show one that came in black. I might post that later.

I know the buzz about this shirt is crazy, but come on you gotta love an UNBROKEN/MOZ tee...Seriously now...

UNDERTOW - Taken Shirt (reprint)













UNDERTOW - Taken Shirt (reprint)

Ok let's be honest just this one time. I haven't seen UNDERTOW live. Ever. not even when they played friggin Burning fight with friggin UNBROKEN (*grrrr*) So why can't I still love them, sing along and wear their shirt?

To totally freak you out; I didn't even take this picture and it's not me wearing the shirt in the pic. I simply ordered this nice 90s reminder online. Wanna know where? I can be such a mean guy.

REVELATION RECORDS - Logo Shirt











REVELATION RECORDS - Logo Shirt

I probably bought this for a nice prive on ebay. Well some could argue that REV hasn't put out a lot of good records lately (except for that END OF A YEAR Lp maybe) and I wouldn't wanna argue with that, but still REV is the shit. I mean they put out the CHAIN, TEXAS IS THE REASON and INSIDE OUT (oh how do i love all these bands), so who could argue with that.

Well since red is not my fave color and I gained a lil more weight then in those crazy skinny vegan days when i looked like a heroin chic dude who'd be dying to be in Placebo this size small styled REV shirt stays at home most of the time...Wanna trade? haha...

QUICKSAND - Manic compression era


















QUICKSAND - Manic compression era

So yeah this shirt must be from the Manic-era. It comes in medium which is nice, since then all my QUICKSAND shirts were either large or Xlarge. I am a sucker for Melinda Becks Artwork, so if you wanna part with some of your Walter-merch let me know. I'd be especially excited to own that "Sharks/Planes" LS. Just in case ya know...

QUICKSAND is easily in my TopTen of all times!

QUICKSAND - Slip


















QUICKSAND - Slip

So yeah i really, really love Quicksand and I'm I am not mistaken I have 3 different QUICKSAND Shirts. I have seen them live once back in the 90s, "Slip"-era, shortly before "Manic compression" has been released, if i recall that right. I could kick myself in the butt I didnt buy every single fuckin piece of merch there. I remember tho that some kid was selling black ski-masks at the show...Sweet memories...

And no, I won't sell it to you. Size medium.

ENFOLD - DIY Design


















ENFOLD - DIY Design

Yeah I must confess I have never seen ENFOLD live altho they were from Muenster just like my own band back in the heydays of emo. I dunno what was wrong with me back then. But well I have this shirt and it might even be a(!!!) bootleg. Who knows...

It's even pretty messy...well that's punk i guess...

INTO ANOTHER - Seemless Design (REV Era)



























INTO ANOTHER - Seemless Design (REV Era)

Yeah I know INTO ANOTHER have gone reaaaaaalllllyyyyy spaceballs with this "Seemless" record and there's alot of people out there who have a hard time liking their stuff. But still, Richie Birkenhead is god and I haven't seen this shirt design anywhere else. So i guess, it is a nice little gem. And of course its XL and way too big for me to wear! It's the 90s dude!! But still nice to look at.

BRAID - Frame and Canvas era Design



















BRAID - Frame and Canvas era Design

Braid's "Age of octeen" is easily one of my fave records from the 90s era. Call it emo, mathrock what you will, these guys were unique and had some great poetry goin on without sounding cheesy at all. I can't remember how many times I saw BRAID live, but they have been amazing every single time. In fact I liked them so much I bought this blue "Arrows design" shirt twice.

In case you like Bob Nanna as much as I do offer me something nice for trade. Sizes is a nice medium.

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE - Sunny dude



























SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE - Sunny dude (Original Sub Pop Shirt)

I remember walking into that Sub Pop Megamart in Seattle (does it still exist btw?) and totally going berzerk on every inch of SDRE merch they had to offer. I bought Posters and Shirts, but everything in Large or Xlarge...WTF?? The 90s could have been so good, if only the shirts were a bit tighter...

Just for the record, this is an original 90s SDRE Shirt, not some fuzzy 2009 Reprint...Including nostalgic anecdotes of the Sub Pop guy exposing me to the fact that Jeremy Enigk has just met Christ and will therefore quit the mighty SDRE....Again, WTF???

KILL HOLIDAY - Somewhere Shirt (REV era)


























KILL HOLIDAY - Somewhere between era Shirt

So i bought this at (their only?) european Tour in the 90s together with JEJUNE at a place called Sojus 7 in Mohnheim. Both bands were amazing and i wonder why i bought this shirt in size large. Oh yeah its been the 90s. I heard shirts only came in large and Xlarge....oh well...

I really wanna trade this for the same design in size medium. So if you gained some weight and your medium size shirt wont fit anymore, look no further. Let's trade...
