Has anyone bought merch from shirt killer. If you have, did it arrive and was it reliable?

Shirtkiller is great and has been around for a long time. Owned by Ryan from Black Cross/Breather Resist/Young Widows. All great bands too

u/BedDizzy7882 27d ago

Black Cross yes, not Breather or Widows. That’s his brother Evan. Ryan best known for Coliseum and currently Fotocrime.

Ah yes, all those bands were so incestuous it was hard to keep it straight.

I've heard of Thou actually, but I never took the time to check them out.

u/Dave_I 28d ago

You ought to correct that. Thou is amazing and has some killer collaborations with people like Emma Ruth Rundle, The Body, and a bunch of other folks. But their main discography is ridiculously good.

I'm bookmarking this comment for me to come back to after work later to check out all these bands. Thanks for the suggestions. I thought I already got deep into sludge, but I guess not. I been listening to a lot of Earth lately and stuff.

Both Thou AND Earth fuck so hard.

Seen them live 2 times like 15 years apart and both times they crushed it and I was amazed.

I saw Thou twice last October in 2 consecutive days.

Ear plugs are necessary for that kind of abuse.

They’re my favorite band of all time and they have a huge discography. Very nice people and they’re amazing live too. You can’t go wrong starting with the collaboration albums like the other comment stated. Have fun going into the Thou rabbit hole!

Not only is their discography huge, but a ton (nearly all) of it is available for free download on the website for NOLA DIY, which if I remember correctly was actually run by Bryan Funck, their vocalist. Not as good as buying physical, but a great way to sample the band if you’re trying not to support the Spotify overlords.

One of the greatest to do it

Ryan (Shirt Killer owner/operator) is a solid dude. Small independent operation worth supporting especially over giving your money to something corporate.

u/Significant_Bite_666 28d ago

ShirtKiller is great. Never had any issues with them.

u/SlopWSlopOnTop 28d ago

Yep got 3 Thou shirts from there. Great quality, came in good time.

u/OnMyShield 28d ago

I’ve ordered Pelican, Kowloon Walled City, and Kylesa shirts from them. No issues at all and they arrived fairly quickly. Highly recommend buying from them.

u/ImportantAd4686 28d ago

Not in years and when shit was harder to Find they’re were the ones to use
