Thrice – In Exile Video
Ever since the first time I saw Thrice live at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago when I was 16 I knew they’d be big. It’s been awhile since I connected as much with them (musically) on anything they’ve released, but I remain a loyal fan nonetheless.
Video: Your Demise – Burnt Tongues
Drawing inspiration from first person self-viewing cameras, Your Demise has stumbled upon one of the most interesting thrasher metal videos I’ve ever seen.
Fall Out Boy – Alpha Dog Video
Just when you thought Fall Out Boy was done making records (as indicated on their Wikipedia page, but has since been removed.) they’ve released a new single, and this video. Check it out.
Dagoba: The Things Within Music Video
It’s been awhile since I’ve found some heavy metal worth enjoying, let alone a quality music video to accompany said heavy death metal. Dagoba, “The Things Within” is a badass music video. Check it out.
The next Fallout Boy? Chicago’s The Alumni Club has what it takes
It’s not too often that I get to plug bands before most people find out about them simply because there aren’t that many that are pluggable, but I think I may have found one that’s plugworthy…
Martin Atkins: Educator, Producer, Drummer of PiL, NIN, Pigface, The Killing Joke & Author of Tour:Smart
Martin Atkins has played drums along side John Rotten, Chris Connelly, Trent Reznor, and countless other rock n rollers over the last 30 years. I was lucky enough to interview him via email, and I think just about anyone can learn something interesting/cool from what he had to say.
IAmTheTrend: Live from Storenvy
IAmTheTrend was nice enough to invite Craig, myself, and a few others to do a live show for IATT.tv from Storenvy’s print facility in Chesterton, IN. It’s been called the best IATT.tv of all time.
During the show we covered screen printing questions, word of mouth marketing questions, how to choose a printer questions, and even touched on design/branding a bit. A must watch for anyone interested in the apparel industry.
Back in Black T-Shirt Show
Josh Smith, the designer behind one of my most favorite websites, Hydro74 had his first event called, “Back in Black” and shot some footage at the show. If you haven’t seen it yet check it out below, but definitely check out his design portfolio.
Alternative ways to find motivation and inspiration
It’s hard to come home at the end of a normal 8 hour work day only to have to sit back down at your computer and start plugging away at more design work, or more development work like I do every day. Here’s a list of non-conventional ways I go about finding motivation and/or the inspiration to do more work.
Rise Against Audience of One Music Video
Rise Against is a constant source of inspiration for many of our t-shirt designs and ideals. Their videos are equally as powerful and moving as most of their music and the new, “Audience of One” video is no exception.
The Boomtown Rats – I don’t like Mondays
If you’re anything like me, you don’t like Mondays….or any weekday for that matter. In honor of this super crappy day, I want to share the following video with you (along with some play by play highlights by yours truly).

Dove Spoof – A Slob Revolution from Tuffsheet
I came across this very well done spoof video of the Dove Evolution video that became so viral some time ago. It’s a humorous jab at the Dove video and carries a very interesting message that, “no one wants to look at ugly people”. I don’t know about you, but they basically seem to have [...]
Lakai Fully Flared Skate Video
Just got a chance to see the Lakai Fully Flared skate video intro on youtube. It’s about 5 minutes long clip with a badass soundtrack coupled with some awesome pyrotechnic explosions courtesy of Spike Jonze. The video was directed by Ty Evans and features M83 — “Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun”. It’s [...]
Biz master Craig’s marketing and business buzzwords
After a few long weeks months of starting of a business (and all the complications that go with it), I have finally made myself available to come here and post. I’m not good with technology. I’m not good with marketing. I don’t know what it means when Timmy yells at me for trying to transfer [...]

Assault Shirts will make you look like a fat hooker
I stumbled upon a video today of a few ladies trying on some American Apparel clothing. It being that they are our suppliers of our shirts I thought I would post a link back to the video… Apparently, our shirts will make you look like a fat hooker. Well wait, I take that back. After [...]
