About

Tell us about yourself?: 

From northern New Jersey, been into metal for 20+ years, hardcore for 15+. I've been collecting merch for as long as I've been into metal, but sadly I was young and most of my t-shirts are no longer. I've been putting patches on everything since the mid-90s, but i got my first vest a couple years ago. Now I have 3 and a new denim jacket haha. I'm mostly into doom, death, sludge and post metal. Grind/Powerviolence is cool, but I'm slowing down in my old age. I prefer metallic hardcore to the more punk-y stuff, and likewise crossover thrash is the best thrash IMO.

What's your reason for joining tshirtslayer?: 

To look at all the pretty merch, share my own, and hopefully get hipped to small merch sites.

Do you goto any festivals or shows?: 

This Is Hardcore in Philly is the only fest I really go to as the US doesn't have too many decent fests, but I go to shows at smaller venues pretty regularly. Nothing beats a basement show.
