Excessive Force - In Your Blood

Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. I didn't do much...just a quiet evening at home watching the tube...anyway, on to the post. This here is a shirt for the straight edge machine from California (and later Illinois), Excessive Force. To be honest, I had never heard of these guys until a friend of mine from New Jersey gave me a copy of the their full length "In Your Blood" and I loved it. Sure, the recording isnt the greatest...

Morning Again - Hand of Hope

So for anyone who knows me, they know one thing...I love Morning Again. I feel lucky that I grew up in South Florida and was able to see them with their earliest lineup which included Damien Moyal on vocals.

Earth Crisis - Destroy The Machines Record Release

Here's another gem...a shirt that was sold at the Earth Crisis "Destroy The Machines" record release show in 1995.

Its always nice to be able to remove something thats been on your list for a long period of tim...

Theres some wear on the print but based on the age its looks pretty damn good. I got this off of Mat from New Zealand who is a super good dude. Around the time this was sold they also had a black longsleeve design which I am currently searching f...

So Im giving this a go...

So I finally decided to start my own blog in my continuous search to own every shirt from the 90s (not really). On this page, Ill post pictures of shirts I get in trades, off Ebay, and that I purchase and possibly a story behind the shirt. Also, expect links to out of print 7 inches, demos, and full lengths that I love that are no longer available. Im currently waiting on 5 shirts/hoodies so Ill post pictures when I receive them.So a quick rundown of who I am...Im Chip or xCHIPxSEM as some know me. Ill be 29 in January and Im still straight edge...
