I mean if you wanna criticize bands for being clothing lines, Converge is right there

 

We all buy and wear band merch we get at shows or online? Yes? Enough said.

 

The real grift is the depop re-sellers.

 

Hardlore took this and ran with it.

 

the real grift is that musicians have to make this decision at all.

 

New Florida Man LP out April 4th:

 

The real grift is bands like Fall Out Boy who can run their shit at scale but still sell their shirts for $40-$50.

 

?

 

FWIW One Step Closer has at least one $15 shirt right here: Smiley T-Shirt

 

Converge take their time with albums and their output is always great. But sure. Just a merch band

 

Not so much Hardlore as it is one of their sponsors.

Still not great but at least they're selling vintage merch that has some intrinsic value. The guys lined up at fests, missing bands sets, just so they can resell a Sanrio hoodie is what really sucks.

 

I like Converge! I didn’t say anything about the quality of their music. It’s a harmless rib. They once made a shirt dedicated to each song off of The Dusk in Us, in two separate colorways. That’s a funny thing to do.

 

Cold World literally started a clothing line. Band rules though.

 

i need to see cold world again this year...2 years between seeing them is far too long

 

"we all need to eat"

 

GILDAN???

 

i’d rather pay $30 for a comfort colors-printed tee than $15 for some dogshit

 

ain't nothing wrong with a good gildan heavy cotton or hammer. would rather wear those than softstyle or tultex bs.

 

You're not getting a Comfort Colors shirt for $30. I do love those shirts, though. Not sure if I've ever seen someone who was already going to buy a shirt change their mind bc it was a Gildan or Alstyle or whatever. Personally, if I have the money and like the design, the blank is whatever.

 

i mean, you definitely can lol. plenty of boot brands doing them online.

 

Sure, but you're not including an extra third of the price for shipping

 

I saw Bruce Springsteen at Camden Yards in September, and the shirts were $50! Almost seems kinda reasonable. I feel like that's what a shirt from a stadium-sized artist costed pre pandemic.
