LOUD& OBNOXIOUS x DEAR LIFE

For our Winter Collection, we decided to do a little collaborative idea with the band DEAR LIFE. Matt and I started this band over 4 years ago with our friend Daniel and have been going at it strong ever since. You never really notice when something you love continues to grow because it just becomes such a big part of your life that it's only natural. All these years, my brother and I have kept the mindset of always trying for bigger and better things. Whether it's the band, our printing company GLAD RAGS INK, or L&O, we've always felt like we were destined for something larger than life. We pride ourselves on making a living for ourselves, rather than waiting on others or choosing the path that everyone else has taken before us. There's a drive and ambition behind Matt, Brian, and myself that I simply cannot explain. It's just there, and we can feel it. It turns us into workaholics, addicted to the notion that we could fully do anything we want with our lives as long as we do our best to make it happen.

I've always been fascinated by the Earth's beauty. There's so much out there left to see, even when we think the Earth is such a small, small world. I wrote a song called "Icebergs" on DEAR LIFE's latest record, which is called "Framework" (coming out spring 2008 on Uprising Records! haha). Basically, the song is about the potential that each of us has, just like an iceberg. Deep down inside each of us "under the water" or "beneath the surface", there is a massive potential to do something great in life. I feel like everyone has this ability built in; each person is an iceberg and each person has something to offer. The difference between each of us is the way we all tap into our potential and choose to use it.

This design and the song is a dedication to all of those people who have ever felt like they could be something more. If you've ever questioned yourself about that, well, the answer is YES. We are all meant for something more. The design depicts a glorious iceberg embedded into our "trademark" exclamations logo. The back features lyrics from the song "Icebergs" with the L&O X DEAR LIFE collab marking. The design is also available in a white crewneck, but the crewneck features a small elegant L&O logo on the right sleeve on the wrist.

Limited edition. Limited quantity. Pick it up before it runs out!
The tee is $25 and the crewneck is $45 and only available at LOUDOBNOXIOUS.COM!
