I
can’t live solely on nostalgia and memories transferred into hi-res
pictures and audio files. There are relicts of the past that I want to
hold in my hands and t-shirts of bands that I grew up listening to, that
formed my worldview (however pathetic this might sound), are exactly
what I miss. These pieces of clothing carry memories. They remind me of
moments when my back carried a piece of lyrics that connected me with
kids thousands of miles away. For two decades the feeling is the same,
no highs or lows of life have changed this and my heart is filled with
joy when I see that many others feel the same way - many others who
walked this way through music and lyrics with me and never strayed from
the path. This cooperation proves it. Thanks.

Yes, the righteous question we should
ask at the beginning is - does this world really need more hardcore
band t-shirts? Honestly, probably not. But this world surely needs bands
like Botch, Endpoint, Endstand and others. This world needs their
thoughts and their legacy, because these bands managed to improve real
lives - and they still do. And we want to spread this legacy. The legacy
of equality, dedication, struggle against injustice, and friendship.
That is why part of the profit from our t-shirts will go to
organisations who spread the same legacy, just through different means.
And because our roots are deep in the 90’s, we've reached out to bands
that changed our own lives and asked them to help us to reignite the
flame. The flame for today. The flame this world still needs.

World of
Need is a benefit - part of the profit from the t-shirts will be donated
to organisations or individuals fighting for animal rights, human
rights or the planet, raising awareness of social issues or helping
people in need. Every 6 months, the money will be donated to one purpose
that will be announced and introduced in advance and after 6 months,
the amount collected will be announced as well. The bands will be able
to decide which organisations or projects will benefit from their
particular t-shirts. This will be also transparent and the amount
collected will be announced.
Thank You for Your support.

ReplyDeleteThis was a pretty awesome post. Thanks for sharing. It brought back some good memories to see these issues again. I really enjoyed seeing a lot of the old label and distro ads. I cannot believe how cheap new vinyl used to be... even w/ postage costs!!
