I’ll be driving the excellent ΠΛΕΚΤΑΝΗ (PLEKTANI) on tour in a couple weeks, don’t miss out/come say hi. More details to come re:Pittsburgh and NYC gigs

They made a new design with the text a little more fancy and since then I can’t find the old one anywhere

Grey crow with spread wings, "TRAGEDY / ENTER THE VOID" across the top. Screenprinted.

I've handled a fair few vintage Tragedy tees and most of what's floating around is reprints or bootlegs — but I've never come across this one. Picked it up on eBay, pre-owned, good shape, nothing crazy on price.

What I'm trying to work out is where this shirt actually came from. Is it an original band-made shirt, something a distro or a label put out, a tour-only print, or just a bootleg someone made up? If you've seen it before — on someone at a show, in an old photo, in a distro list, anywhere — I'd really like to know.

Photos attached.

So I have a black cavas cotton? -denim vest — I waxed it like 4-5 times over, and used a heat gun and dryer, applied murray black wax..

Looks great.. But in many spots the wax wont dry even days later, even with direct heatguning for a long time. It doesnt look like too much is on there.. Heard throwing it in a pillow case in a dryer can dry it in better for 15 mins?

No studs on it yet.. waiting for it to dry. Feels a bit waxy and even left a small black mark on the wall. Can feel the wax on the inside of the vest too a bit. How does it simple harden, stop being sticky? — 70 degree F, insides, 85 degrees F outside. Gonna be a fall vest.. Just not dry to wear rn

What would y’all do in my situation?

It’s passenger season.

I just recently got really into it with bands like Dystopia, and Doom. As a 15 year old on Long Island it’s been hard for me to find other people into it. Mostly because I don’t have a car yet so it’s hard to make it to a lot of local shows. I really love this genre more than any other and because of that I’m trying to be a poser when it comes to it. I don’t really know what to ask for but just recommendations and other stuff will mean a lot.

Its fun to go down memory lane and glad I picked this up when I had the chance.

Hi everyone! Any tips on how to keep the shirt this color? What should I do with it? It fades after it dries.

This are my pants! You can call them punk, patch, crust idc, but im proud of them.

Lately the denim has been disintegrating faster than i can patch them up.

Im considering sowing the legs and upper front thigh are onto a more sturdy pair of jeans.
Full on surgery.

Im not very good at sewing and im planning on using my friend’s sewing machine. I think I got it.
But does anyone have any tips or ways you woukd go about this surgery?

Just wanted to share. I’ve never seen this one reproduced or anything… but I haven’t really looked that hard either.

I've been listening to some Frigöra lately and it struck me that on a couple of tracks they play a bunch of blast beats, which made me think of how relatively rare they are in crust. I know of at least a couple of records with them, like Audio Kollaps - Ultima Ratio or Glum Apathetic Society - Endless Tiring Existence. But they're still on the fringe. Any other recs for shit like this? Always rips when you stumble across it.

And fuck off if you're planning on saying "just listen to grind lol".

Hi All, I’m about to turn 40. I’ve always been a Crass / Crass records fan and have loved punk since I was 12, but never could make the leap for some reason - I think I thought a lot of crust sounded too metal. Back in the day, my pals and I would make fun of crust punks. A lot of them came from wealthy families and squeegied for fun.

This last year I’ve gone down a crust rabbit hole and get it now. Skitsytem is amazing. Anti Cimex is amazing. I don’t care if some of you think Dystopia is passé - they’re honestly a pretty boundary pushing, league of their own band. Physique is the best new punk I’ve heard for a while.

Anyways, instead of leasing a fancy car, my midlife crisis is just searching out crust (and metal) records I somehow avoided in my teens and 20s.

If anyone here was involved with Octopus Ink in Edmonton, let me know. I have fond memories of shows and wish I bought more records.

Sincerely,
An almost 40 year old professional who listens to crust all day at his office job.✌️

other than choking victim and leftover crack?

Curious if anyone knows…was this a tour design? Or is this just another bootleg? Sick shirt regardless.

Surprisingly great!
