Merch: Easy End Shirt

I just picked up this up from Easy End Garage out of Richmond, VA. If you are not familiar with their work you need to go there and check out some of the really boss XL's and Shovels they have been building lately, along with some really good photography of their road trips. I love the design of this shirt, the peaceful country scene within the #1 outline reminds me of an early 70's rock album cover. It fits true to size and the smaller version of the logo on the front breast was a nice touch. I would tell you to go pick one up but this was the last of this batch so keep your eyes peeled for the next series from these guys. And like I always say, it pays to support those who support our culture.

EDGE DAY 2011

Josh finally got the venue and details worked out. Cannot wait to see this show. See you there.

Demo: Poison Tongues

Earthmover was huge for me. I probably listened to "Themes from Everyday Life" daily for about 6 months straight in 1997 so I was stoked to see that some of those guys were back with another band doing similar hardass Detroit hardcore. As expected, it consists of deep metallic riffs, some nice speed variation, monster breakdowns and Len's super vicious vocals. The track "Toughen Up" is straight up the hardest song I have heard in forever. There will ALWAYS be a difference between the people who actually invented this sound and those who came later and are simply imitating it. This is the rare real thing. Easily one of my favorite demos of the year.

Merch: Vise Grip Shirt

This shirt comes from Austin, Texas' own Vise Grip. Besides building some of the sweetest Sportsters and Dynas out there, they can also make a pretty tight soft good too. I love the image and font on this and can't wait to wear it. It is done on a slimmer fit Hanes tagless T, so it looks really nice. As always, support those who support our culture.

Buy: Vise Grip Store

Video: Foundation at South East Hardcore Fest

Still can't believe we pulled this off. I have spent 23 years in Hardcore and never thought we would have a show in Chattanooga like this. Watch and see why Foundation are absolutely one of the best bands going.

Catch their full set and then pre Foundation encore. This band rips so hard.

Mail Day: Show Class #1 Has Arrived

My copy of Show Class #1 finally got here. There are no words to describe how hard I anticipated this thing. If you are into DIY bikes, photography, music, etc., this is THE magazine to get. Head on over to Show Class to see how to get yours, but hurry because it's almost completely sold out.

Coping Methods Demo

Music returns to Live Fast Racing with a free download of Chattanooga punk/HC band Coping Methods new demo. Awesome in a raw, DC sort of way, I'm looking for big things out of them in 2011.

Live Fast Returns--Mail Day

Finally have enough time/desire to bring this thing back, so keep an eye out for posts every few days. Music, bikes and whatever weird pics I'm into, same as usual.

Pretty stoked on the new issue of LIMITER from Icon Motorsports
